A Proven Partnership
Sara and Rai’s previous venture, Atrangi Re, a quirky romantic drama with Dhanush and Akshay Kumar, earned praise for Sara’s vibrant performance as Rinku, despite mixed reviews. Fans lauded her energy in the viral song “Chaka Chak,” and Rai himself hailed her as a top-tier actress. Their reunion has raised expectations, with sources telling India Today that Sara’s character will “surprise all her fans.” A February 2025 Instagram post of Sara with Rai at Delhi’s Bangla Sahib Gurudwara, where she wore a pink salwar kameez, first sparked speculation of this collaboration.
