The talented duo from Laapataa Ladies — Pratibha Ranta and Nitanshi Goel — are making impressive strides in Bollywood following the film’s critical and commercial success. Both actresses, who won audiences over with their raw and heartfelt portrayals, have now bagged significant roles in upcoming high-profile projects.
According to recent industry buzz, Pratibha Ranta has been roped in as the new female lead for Dostana 2. The film, which was originally announced with Janhvi Kapoor, Kartik Aaryan, and Lakshya, underwent several changes after Kartik’s exit. Now, Vikrant Massey has stepped into the male lead’s role alongside Lakshya, with Pratibha taking over the part once earmarked for Janhvi. – Pratibha Ranta and Nitanshi Goel from Laapataa Ladies
The film is described as a spiritual successor to the 2008 blockbuster Dostana, which starred Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Abhishek Bachchan, and John Abraham. While the new installment promises a fresh narrative, it aims to retain the humor, emotions, and energy that made the original a cult favorite. For Pratibha, this move marks a remarkable transition from a small-town character in Laapataa Ladies to a glamorous role in a big-banner production. – Pratibha Ranta and Nitanshi Goel from Laapataa Ladies
Meanwhile, her co-star Nitanshi Goel is set to make her entry into commercial cinema with Sajid Khan’s upcoming directorial venture. The film will feature her opposite Yashvardan Ahuja, son of veteran actor Govinda, marking his much-awaited Bollywood debut. The project also stars South Indian actress Krithi Shetty in a key role.
Sajid Khan’s new film will mark his return to direction after nearly seven years. The filmmaker had previously stepped away from the industry following allegations during the #MeToo movement. His suspension from the Indian Film and Television Directors’ Association was later lifted, and reports suggest a major studio has now brought him on board for this comedy-centric film.
An industry insider shared, “The studio believes Sajid’s strength lies in directing light-hearted entertainers, and this script perfectly complements his trademark comedic style.”
With Pratibha Ranta joining Dostana 2 and Nitanshi Goel signing Sajid Khan’s comeback film, the Laapataa Ladies stars are clearly carving a strong foothold in mainstream Bollywood. Their upcoming projects not only reflect their growing popularity but also underline their versatility as performers ready to conquer diverse genres.
