Rashmika Mandanna not part of Amit Sharma's upcoming rom-com?
What's the story
Actor Rashmika Mandanna will not be part of director Amit Sharma's upcoming romantic comedy, according to a Bollywood Hungama report. A source close to the director allegedly clarified that while he is in talks with Shahid Kapoor for the project, Mandanna won't be involved. The report also cited two reasons for her unavailability: a packed schedule and another collaboration with Kapoor on Cocktail 2.

The source said, "There is no Rashmika Mandanna in the project at all. Yes, Amit is in talks with Shahid Kapoor." The report added that Mandanna's "date diary is cloggged" which she aims to clear for her upcoming wedding to actor Vijay Deverakonda.
