Ranveer Singh is reveling in the success of his espionage film Dhurandhar, which is still running in the cinema houses despite fierce competition from Border 2 and other projects. The lead actor, who has impressed the audience with his work, has had quite the start to the year and seems to be looking at another impressive title to add to his kitty. As per a Mid-Day report, he seems to be in talks to join director Shankar for his anticipated film, Velpari.
Previously, the director and the actor were rumored to be joining hands for Anniyan. However, their 2021 collaboration never came to fruition and left fans demanding answers. It seems that their time has come, as rumors are rife about the two working together on the big project, Velpari.
It is being said that the film would be a two-hero project where, apart from Ranveer Singh, Tamil industry actor Vikram will be headlining Velpari. The Kollywood star and the Bollywood juggernaut may make this their first collaboration, with a lot of excitement rising already.
