Aditya Roy Kapur denies reports of quitting Mohit Suri’s next
Recent chatter that Aditya Roy Kapur had been in talks for Mohit Suri’s upcoming film — and later walked away — has been firmly denied. Sources close to the actor say the media reports are inaccurate and based on assumption rather than fact.
What the sources say
A person close to Aditya told reporters that there were no casting conversations with Mohit. “A lot has been written about Aditya being in talks for Mohit’s film, but the truth is far simpler — there were no discussions or casting offers made. So, the question of him opting out doesn’t arise,” the source said.
Aditya’s lighthearted response
Aditya Roy Kapur himself addressed the rumours with a smile. When contacted, he laughed off the story: “The report isn’t true. Mohit and I have only been meeting to play cricket, not to discuss a film!” His brief, humorous reply helped put the matter to rest from the actor’s side.
How the rumours began
The speculation gained momentum after reports suggested an untitled project with Mohit Suri at the helm was in early development and that Aditya was being considered as the male lead. Insiders said the screenplay was being worked on and that casting decisions would come later — but no official details were released, leaving room for guesswork.
Why fans were invested
Interest in a Mohit-Aditya reunion is understandable. The director and actor have delivered memorable work together, and those past successes likely fuel any casting rumours.
- Aashiqui 2 (2013) — The film became a cultural phenomenon, remembered for its music and emotional intensity.
- Malang (2020) — Showcased Aditya in a darker, more intense avatar and strengthened the Mohit–Aditya association.
Mohit Suri’s recent run
Mohit’s latest release, Saiyaara, emerged as a record-breaking success. The film launched Ahaan Panday opposite Aneet Padda, and the newcomers’ chemistry became a major talking point, adding to Mohit’s current momentum as a filmmaker.
Where things stand now
For now, Aditya Roy Kapur has made it clear there were no talks and therefore no question of opting out. While industry speculation about future projects will no doubt continue, this chapter is closed — at least until either camp confirms something officially.
