Sara Ali Khan to test for Varun Dhawan’s Rannbhoomi?

Sara Ali Khan is literally on a roll! Her first two films – Kedarnath (2018) and Simmba (2018) – turned out to be huge money spinners at the cash counter and established her as a promising newcomer.

Soon after the success of her second release Simmba, she signed on her third film with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali, which co-stars Kartik Aaryan. While the untitled film is still being shot, she has been confirmed to play the female lead in David Dhawan’s remake of Coolie No. 1 (1995), which stars Varun Dhawan as the male lead.


The latest we hear that Sara Ali Khan is about to test for Dharma Productions’ much-talked-about war period drama, Rannbhoomi. If the actress cracks the look test, it will be her second film with Karan Johar’s banner after Simmba.

“Sara is shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s film with Kartik Aaryan at the moment. Once she is done shooting for the film, she will be giving a look test for the film which will determine her being confirmed, and the official announcement will be made post that,” a source in the know divulges.

Rannbhoomi, which was announced in 2018, will be directed by Shashank Khaitan, who has previously made Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017) and Dhadak (2018) for Dharma Productions.

Earlier the film was set to mount last year only, but due to various reasons, it was put on the backburner for some time. Now it seems that the makers are set to bring the project on the track once again.
