According to a source, “Sajid Nadiadwala was planning to make Adanga Maru with Varun Dhawan at one point of time with Anurag Singh as the director. However, the tides changed in the post-pandemic world and VD decided to stay away from a remake. Sajid feels Adanga Maru has great potential to do well in Hindi and will be revisiting the subject in 2025 with a fresh star-cast. It’s a script close to his heart and he will definitely make it for big screen entertainment.”

While Adanga Maru with Varun Dhawan was titled Sanki, the source further informed that the new Sanki has nothing to do with what Sajid was making in the pre-pandemic world. Currently the prep-work is underway and Sajid is committed to taking the film on floors in June 2024. “It’s a start to finish two-month journey on Sanki and Sajid has conveyed his intention of making the film a Valentines’ Day 2025 offering.  Ahan is presently training to play the twisted character of a Sanki in this actioner,” the source told us further.
