The rumour mills are agog about Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur’s new friendship blossoming into a love affair.

According to reports, they recently harboured feelings for each other.

Rumours, drama, and gossip are not new to the entertainment industry, especially in Bollywood.

The latest rumour is that Ananya Panday and Aditya Roy Kapur are dating.

According to a report in ETimes, the duo has gotten very close, recently, following Ananya Panday’s break-up with Shahid Kapoor’s brother and actor Ishaan Khatter.

And, while the couple has not been spotted in public yet, we might soon get a glimpse of them.

For the unversed, Ananya Panday dated her Khaali Peeli co-star for almost three years, and the two called off their relationship for unknown reasons in April 2022.

Following this, they even crossed paths at Karan Johar’s 50th birthday party on May 25 and had a cordial interaction, hinting that they have moved on.

And now, if the source is to be believed, then there is a new Bollywood couple in the making.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, Ananya Panday is gearing up for her upcoming pan-India film Liger with Vijay Deverakonda.

Aditya Roy Kapur, on the other hand, has Gumraah in the pipeline.

The first song of Vijay Deverakonda’s Bollywood debut Liger was released by its producers on July 11, 2022.

‘Akdi Pakdi’, an energetic dance number, sees the actor match steps with the film’s heroine Ananya Panday.

Fans have praised the song’s energy and beats and said it brings the ‘mass vibes’ seen in Tamil and Telugu films.

The song’s video opens with Vijay and Ananya Panday riding a bike as she lies down on the fuel tank in front of him and blows kisses at him.

The beat drops and the scene transforms into one inside a neon-lit disco with both actors in colourful, flashy outfits.

The two then display some energetic dance steps in a romantic, fun track around Vijay’s character trying to woo Ananya.

They then introduce what they call the ‘Liger step’ along with several background dancers.

Liger will release in five languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Directed by Puri Jagannadh, it is co-produced by Karan Johar.

The makers recently released Vijay’s first poster from the film, which showed him covering his modesty with a bunch of roses.

The film stars Vijay as a kickboxer who goes from being ‘chaiwala’ in Mumbai to a professional boxer, competing in the US.
