Rohit Shetty Backs Romance 'Hum Tere Pyaar Mein' as Shooting Kicks Off
In a major crossover move across the Indian entertainment landscape, celebrated commercial filmmaker Rohit Shetty has officially taken the reins to launch prominent South Indian actress Krithi Shetty into Hindi cinema with the upcoming romantic entertainer titled "Hum Tere Pyaar Mein." Principal photography on the project officially kicked off on Thursday, October 15, 2026, marking a significant milestone as the actress transitions from blockbuster regional cinema into mainstream Bollywood leading roles. Backed jointly by Rohit Shetty and AVS Studios in association with Tudip Entertainment, the project gained immediate social media traction after the "Golmaal 5" director shared a commemorative photograph of the film’s first clapboard on his official Instagram handle, sending his best wishes to the creative crew and firmly putting his powerhouse brand behind the fresh romantic venture.
From Mentorship to Mainstream: Inside Vidhi Ghodgaonkar’s Directorial Debut with Krithi Shetty
While Bollywood and South Indian film industries have increasingly relied on star-studded action cross-collaborations—such as Yash's high-profile appearance in "Ramayan" and Hrithik Roshan's anticipated cameo in "Jailer 2"—Rohit Shetty’s new initiative takes a distinctly narrative-driven path by anchoring a pure romantic drama around a fresh leading pair. The film marks the feature directorial debut of Vidhi Ghodgaonkar, an industry insider who has trained extensively under Rohit Shetty’s direct creative mentorship for over 17 years across his biggest blockbuster sets. Produced by Abhishek S. Vyas and Deepti Agarwal under the AVS Studios banner alongside co-producer Priyanka Chaudhary, the production aims to bring a contemporary perspective to classic Hindi romance, leveraging Ghodgaonkar’s deep technical expertise alongside Krithi Shetty’s proven screen presence.

Having established herself as one of Telugu and Tamil cinema’s most sought-after young stars with a dedicated fan base across southern territories, Krithi Shetty’s foray into Hindi cinema is designed to showcase her dramatic versatility beyond commercial action blockbusters. While production executives have maintained secrecy regarding the male lead and detailed plot points, the team has confirmed an extensive multi-city shooting schedule planned through the coming months. Formal release announcements and teaser rollouts are projected to materialize toward late 2027 as post-production wraps, requiring eager audiences to wait a little longer before seeing Krithi Shetty make her definitive theatrical splash on the national Hindi box office canvas.
