Cinema VinesIn a fresh announcement that has fans buzzing, actor Ahan Shetty is set to star in the upcoming action‑romance “Sanki,” directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, best known for his work on “Rustom” and “Mission Raniganj.” The film, which is already in production in Bhopal, will see Shetty paired with newcomer Medha Rana as his on‑screen love interest. Rana, who made a splash in 2026’s “Border 2” opposite Varun Dhawan, has been in intensive preparation for the role, attending workshops for the past two months to fully inhabit the character’s blend of romance, intensity and action.
Sources close to the set revealed that Rana chose “Sanki” after the massive success of “Border 2.” “When the script was read, she knew this was the big one she was looking for,” the source said. The actress has spent the last fortnight honing her performance, aiming to bring the same chemistry that made her a standout in “Border 2.” She will be joining Shetty and the rest of the crew in Bhopal, where filming has already begun.
Desai’s “Sanki” is slated for a 2027 release and is already one of the most anticipated action dramas of the year. The first look is expected to drop in the coming days, and the film is being produced by a trio of companies: We The People, Roaring River Productions and Pals & Peers Entertainment. With a script that promises a mix of love, grit and high‑octane sequences, the project is positioned to capture audiences looking for a fresh take on the action‑romance genre.
Rana’s involvement also creates an intriguing link to “Border 2,” where Shetty was paired with Anya Singh. While Shetty will reunite with Singh in the upcoming “1920: Cold Winter,” his new partnership with Rana in “Sanki” marks the first time the two have shared the screen together. Industry insiders say the chemistry that worked in “Border 2” will now be showcased in a new dynamic, promising a “fireworks” experience for viewers.
As “Sanki” moves forward, the film’s production team remains tight‑lipped about further details, but the buzz around the star‑studded cast and Desai’s direction is already generating excitement. Fans of Ahan Shetty and Medha Rana can look forward to a 2027 release that blends heartfelt storytelling with the adrenaline‑filled action that defines modern Bollywood blockbusters.
