Reports Suggest Vicky Kaushal As The Lead In Rajkumar Hirani’s Next Big Project!

Vicky Kaushal is gearing up for what could be his biggest role yet with director Rajkumar Hirani, if recent reports are anything to go by. This would be the third time the actor and director have joined forces, but this time Vicky Kaushal is set to lead the project. Known for standout performances in Sanju and Dunki, this pairing has already proven its magic, so the prospect of Kaushal taking center stage has people talking. Though Rajkumar Hirani initially considered other actors, he circled back to Kaushal, recognizing the kind of depth and charisma he brings to every role.

While there’s no official announcement yet, the whispers are enough to build a sense of excitement, as Hirani’s films often bring something new to the table. With Kaushal’s talent for diving deep into his characters, it’s safe to say this project could be something special.

In the meantime, Kaushal has his hands full with Chhaava, where he portrays Maratha warrior Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. This historical drama is currently slated for a December 6 release, but with Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 eyeing the same date, there’s talk of a possible rescheduling. Pushpa 2, with its own massive fan following, could make for stiff competition, and the Chhaava team might just shift its release to let the film find its own spotlight.

Beyond Chhaava, Vicky Kaushal’s upcoming Love & War with Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt is also in the pipeline. Directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film is expected to start production soon and promises an intense storyline centered on Indian Armed Forces officers. While we won’t see this one until March 2026, the blend of Bhansali’s direction with this cast lineup has fans waiting eagerly.
