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 is said to blend high-octane action, emotional drama, and a layered portrayal of crime and ambition, potentially marking 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.
