Fresh off the success of his recent Diwali release *Ek Deewane Ki Deewaniyat*, Harshvardhan Rane seems to be gearing up for an exciting new chapter in his career. According to a Pinkvilla report, the actor is currently in advanced discussions with ace producer Ektaa R Kapoor for a gangster drama set against the glamorous yet gritty backdrop of Dubai.
Known for her knack for discovering new talent and creating unconventional stories, Ektaa R Kapoor is reportedly eyeing Harshvardhan Rane for a key role in this action-packed saga. The project, said to blend high-octane action, emotional drama, and a layered portrayal of crime and ambition, could mark Harshvardhan’s first major step into the world of gangster cinema.
A source close to the development revealed that the discussions are ongoing but promising. “They’re still figuring out a lot of things about the film, but it’s definitely a gangster saga with a contemporary edge. Audiences know Rane for intense love stories, and a film like this would position him in a completely different genre, giving him a fresh and edgy image,” the insider told the portal.
If the deal goes through, the film is expected to present Harshvardhan in a never-seen-before avatar, exploring darker shades of his acting range. The actor, who has often been praised for his emotional depth and screen presence, will reportedly play a character that delves into the ruthless yet human side of a gangster navigating loyalty, power, and moral conflict.
While the project is still under wraps, sources suggest that it will carry Ektaa R Kapoor’s trademark storytelling style — an engaging mix of drama and emotion layered within a thrilling narrative. The Dubai setting is expected to lend an opulent yet edgy texture to the film’s visual storytelling.
Both Harshvardhan Rane and Ektaa R Kapoor have remained tight-lipped about the development, but industry buzz suggests that an official announcement might be around the corner.
Meanwhile, Harshvardhan is currently gearing up for another power-packed action romance in the fantasy genre, *Silaa*, which will see him paired with Sadia Khateeb for the first time. The film will also feature Bigg Boss winner Karan Veer Mehra.
