Vivek Oberoi and his co-producers will launch a nationwide hunt for a new face for the film, in light of the recent debate around nepotism, following Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise on June 14.

“With my new venture, I want to support concept-driven films that I believe can change the movie landscape in their respective genres. And not just the film, but also make way for new talent. With Rosie, I hope to achieve both. It’s a franchise and with every sequel, we hope to introduce someone new in the industry,” Vivek said in a statement.

Presented by Mandiraa Entertainment and Oberoi Mega Entertainment, and produced by Vivek, Girish Johar, Kussum Arora, Reshabh D Saraf, Keyur Pandya and Sanjeet S Yermal, Rosie: The Saffron Chapter is expected to go on floors by September 2020. While shooting for Iti is expected to begin by October, with an aim to release it in the first quarter of 2021.
