The chemistry between the two has been generating excitement, with romance rumors swirling around. Sai Pallavi, a big star down South, is stepping into the Hindi film industry with Nitesh Tiwari's magnum opus Ramayana, opposite Ranbir Kapoor's Ram. A leaked picture from the set last year had fans eagerly anticipating the on-screen pairing of two of the finest actors from their generation. Shahid Kapoor is back in action mode with Vishal Bhardwaj's O'Romeo, and will be paired with Triptii Dimri for the first time. The combination of Kapoor's experience and Dimri's raw talent promises to deliver a thrilling big-screen spectacle.
