Priyanka Had Earlier Expressed Interest in Working With Saif

Interestingly, this is not the first time Priyanka Chopra has spoken about wanting to work with Saif Ali Khan. Back in 2012, the actress had described Saif as an “incredible actor” and revealed that the two had been considered for two or three films in the past.

However, those collaborations never materialised, with scheduling reportedly being one of the reasons. More than a decade later, the possibility of bringing the two actors together could finally become a reality.

Priyanka Chopra’s International Journey Continues

Priyanka Chopra has built a career that spans both Indian and international cinema. Over the years, she has appeared in projects such as The Matrix Resurrections, Love Again and Heads of State, while continuing to remain connected to Indian cinema.

She was most recently seen in The Bluff. Her upcoming project Varanasi, directed by S. S. Rajamouli, is currently scheduled for an April 2027 release. The film is particularly significant as it marks her return to Indian films and her first Telugu-language project.

Saif Ali Khan’s Upcoming Projects

Saif Ali Khan, meanwhile, continues to explore a mix of genres and characters. He was last seen in Priyadarshan’s Haiwaan. The actor is also set to feature in Hum Hindustani, Rahul Dholakia’s period drama centred around the making of India’s first democratic election.

Ritesh Batra’s Return to Feature Films

For Ritesh Batra, the reported project could mark his return to feature filmmaking after Photograph, his 2019 romantic drama starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sanya Malhotra.

Batra has previously moved between Indian and international stories with films including The Lunchbox, The Sense of an Ending and Our Souls at Night. If the latest casting reports materialise, his new film could bring together an intriguing combination of Indian talent and an international setting.
