Okay let me walk you through exactly how I dug up Shikhar Malhotra’s latest moves. Wasn’t easy, lemme tell you, felt like chasing rumors for a while.
Heard the Buzz, Started Digging
First, I kept seeing his name pop up randomly online. People whispering “Where’s Shikhar?” or “Saw Shikhar doing XYZ…” Totally unconfirmed stuff. So I sat down, coffee in hand, fired up the laptop thinking, right, let’s settle this.
Typed “Shikhar Malhotra now” straight into the search engine. Hit enter, expecting something solid. Yeah, nah. Mostly old news recycled. Articles about his past projects, couple outdated fan pages. Felt like hitting a brick wall. Needed a different angle.
Hunting for Real Dirt
Got smart. Realized his own socials would be the source, right? Headed straight to Instagram – usually the place for current stuff. Pulled up his profile. Started scrolling down his posts myself, slow and careful. Not just the latest pics, but every. single. post. Looked for clues in the captions, checked locations, squinted at tagged people.
Then I jumped into his following list. Who’s he connecting with now? Scrolled through pages and pages. Spotted a few new faces – folks I didn’t associate with him before. Interesting.
Next stop: Twitter. Searched his handle and also just his name in the search bar. Scrolled through mentions like a madman. Filtered by ‘Latest’. Found a couple of fan tweets saying stuff like “OMG hope Shikhar is doing XYZ project!” But no sauce, just wishful thinking mostly.
The Verification Game
This is where it gets messy. Saw his name linked to some indie project gossip on a random Bollywood rumor mill site. Pure chatter. Needed proof. Dug around film industry news sites – you know, the legit(ish) ones. Cross-referenced the project name mentioned on that rumor site.
Found nothing official. No casting announcements on the producer’s site, no trade reports confirming it. Seemed like hot air so far. Kept looking.
Then, struck potential gold! Found a recent Instagram post from a known casting director. They posted pictures from a “secret project workshop,” and one guy wayyyy in the back… looked mightily like Shikhar. Zoomed in. It was grainy, hard to tell. But the build, the hair… yeah. Could be.
Checked the director’s following list. Boom! Found Shikhar’s profile in there. He wasn’t following back, but hey, that photo plus that follow was interesting. Could just be networking, or could be something real.
Connecting the (Possibly Fuzzy) Dots
Right now, here’s the messy picture I pieced together:
- Seems quiet on the big movie front publicly – no major project announcement is official yet.
- My main takeaway? He’s DEFINITELY in Mumbai, based on location tags and sightings.
- Rumor mill says indie/small screen projects; zero hard proof at this point. Could be wishful thinking.
- The strongest lead? That workshop photo and casting director connection. Suggests he might be actively prepping for something, probably experimental or off-beat. That “secret project” vibe. But it’s still speculation based on one blurry pic.
So, truth bomb time? Nothing crazy public like a big movie launch. Looks like he’s laying low, likely workshopping some smaller stuff. Probably developing scripts or testing out roles in smaller rooms. That Mumbai grind looks real. Big screen comeback? Not signaled yet. Still sniffing. This actor keeps you guessing!
