Has Ahan Shetty and Pooja Hegde’s film 'Sanki' officially been scrapped ?

Post his debut with Tadap, Ahan Shetty was supposed to be seen on the big screen next with Pooja Hegde for a film called Sanki. The film was backed by Sajid Nadiadwala, and directed by Adnan A Shaikh and Yasir Jah. The film was announced last year at an event held by the streamer Amazon Prime Video, and was slated to release on Valentine’s Day this year.




But some time in July , reports began to filter that the producer was having second thoughts about the film. As per a report in Bollywood Hungama, Sajid was reconsidering the film due to a weak market and lower-than-expected satellite and digital revenues, despite a bulk Amazon Prime deal. The tipping point was Ahan’s exorbitant entourage costs (hair, makeup, stylist, etc.), billed to production, leading Sajid to threaten canceling the project, citing poor business viability. Though Suniel Shetty did step in to cover up the costs, but it seems all this has now gone to waste.


Sajid Nadiadwala’s company Nadiadwala Grandson recently took to social media to share the slate of their upcoming films in 2025 which includes Salman Khan starrer Sikandar, Akshay Kumar led Housefull 5, Tiger Shroff’s return with Baaghi 4 and Shahid Kapoor’s untitled film. But there was no mention of Sanki which was slated to release on 14th February. Another sign that Sanki is not currently on is that the actress Pooja Hegde, back in October itself went ahead and signed Thalapathy Vijay’s final film which has been titled as Thalapathy 69. The film also stars Bobby Deol as the negative lead.



Ahan will now be seen in JP Dutta and Anurag Singh’s Border 2 with Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh.
