Bollywood has two sure ways to start a rumour. Lunch with a producer and two unannounced visits to a director’s office. The second one just happened. The paparazzi got their shots and the timeline did the rest. The question is not whether a conversation took place. The question is what sort of part suits his current profile.
He sits cleanly in the prince or prodigal bracket for a period piece and in the smooth yet slightly dangerous bracket for a modern love story. If the filmmaker in question is juggling multiple timelines, there is room for a younger lead to carry an arc while a senior star anchors the marquee. That combination keeps budgets safe and schedules sane.
Look at production calendars. Prestige epics lock cast months in advance because sets are custom builds. Contemporary love stories can swing faster if locations are friendly and music is locked. The repeat visits suggest development rather than a one off cameo. Nobody does two meetings to discuss a blink and miss.
Fans will read hair length and gym sightings like forensic scientists. That is half the fun. The other half is waiting to see if a costume trial leak hits the feed before an official announcement. If you are betting on genres, put your chips on a love story with high craft or a supporting role in a courtly saga. Either way the trajectory is pointing up.
