Is Wamiqa Gabbi now the blue eyed girl of Dharma?

MUMBAI: Just days after Kuku Ki Kundali was announced, marking Wamiqa Gabbi’s Dharma debut opposite Bhuvan Bam, entertainment insiders reveal she has already been tapped to headline another Dharma Productions film and this time it’ll be a collaboration with Shakun Batra

Wamiqa Gabbi’s career is accelerating at a spectacular pace. With Kuku Ki Kundali being unofficially confirmed recently, casting her opposite Bhuvan Bam in her first Dharma outing, sources now indicate a second Dharma project is already locked in with Batra at the helm. If confirmed, this would be an extraordinarily swift succession, two film announcements for the same banner in under less than 10 days.

Shakun Batra has a long history with Dharma, having directed films like Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu, Kapoor and Sons, and Gehraiyaan, and is known for emotionally rich, ensemble-driven storytelling. Casting Wamiqa signals a strategic step. Dharma appears eager to bolster its portfolio of fresh faces, building on Wamiqa’s strong 2025 momentum following her recent film opposite Rajkummar Rao.

While details remain under wraps with no title, confirmed co-stars, or genre, industry chatter suggests several possibilities. Wamiqa could lead as a solo protagonist in a character-driven narrative. Alternatively, she may join a high-profile ensemble. Tentative whispers hint the story may explore relationship dynamics with emotional depth, aligned with the tone Batra has embraced before.

If true, this back to back casting not only cements Wamiqa as a rising lead within Dharma but also positions her for a creatively charged collaboration with Shakun Batra. It suggests a strong level of faith in her ability to anchor varied storytelling styles, from light-hearted romance to emotionally nuanced drama.

This developing story marks a potential turning point in Wamiqa Gabbi’s trajectory. If confirmed, she is on course to deliver two Dharma films in quick succession, one opposite a debutante co-star and another in collaboration with a celebrated director, affirming her growing position in Bollywood.

The Bhool Chuk Maaf actress has become the talk of the town in recent days with the announcement of G2, and if reports are to be believed, she will also be headlining Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 along with Ayushmann Khurrana where she will be playing the role of the Patni. The movie will also star Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh playing key roles. Wamiqa also has Bhool Bangla, Kuku Ki Kandali and a few projects coming up next
