The filmmaker actor pairing that delivered one of the more talked about romantic dramas of last year is set to return, and this time the backing is bigger. Box Office Worldwide has exclusively learned that Milap Zaveri and Harshvardhan Rane are teaming up again for a new feature film that will be produced by Bhushan Kumar under the T Series banner.
The development comes close on the heels of the success and strong recall value of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, which brought Zaveri and Rane together and found traction with audiences during the festive window. The film released in cinemas on October 21, 2025, and featured Sonam Bajwa alongside Harshvardhan Rane, with Milap Zaveri serving as director and co writer.
Milap Zaveri and Harshvardhan Rane’s post success momentum
In the weeks following the film’s run, the conversation around their collaboration stayed alive, not just with trade watchers but also within industry circles tracking what the duo would do next. Harshvardhan Rane had publicly expressed interest in signing another project with Milap Zaveri after the success of Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat, with Zaveri responding that a new project had already been offered.
That context makes this new reunion feel less like a one off and more like a deliberate creative partnership moving forward. While plot details are being kept tightly under wraps at the moment, the intent is clear. This is being mounted as a commercial Hindi film with mainstream scale, positioned to leverage the emotional romantic space that worked for the duo previously, while giving the new film its own identity.

As of now, the makers are expected to lock the key creative team and timelines once the script and casting are fully closed. An official announcement is awaited, but this Milap Zaveri and Harshvardhan Rane reunion is already shaping up as one of the most interesting director actor combinations to track in the coming months, especially with Bhushan Kumar coming onboard as producer.
