Rumour has it that actors Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter, who delighted audiences with their chemistry in the horror-comedy Phone Bhoot, are working together once more, this time with actress Pooja Hegde.

Their recent photos from Manali, Himachal Pradesh, have stoked rumours about an impending project even though there hasn't been an official announcement yet.

Against the breathtaking backdrop of the Himalayan town, Ishaan recently shared a photo dump on Instagram that included unscripted moments with Siddhant and Pooja.

Ishaan and Siddhant can be seen smiling warmly at the camera while lounging on the ground in one picture. Ishaan flaunts his toned abs in another picture, while Siddhant seems preoccupied with his phone.

Among the most striking images is a black-and-white selfie of the trio taken in a lush, forested area—adding a rustic and mysterious charm. A particularly heartwarming photo shows Ishaan interacting with local children, adding a genuine and endearing touch to the post.

Also included is a video clip of Ishaan enjoying a piece of fruit while relaxing inside a car, followed by a picture of him displaying his muscular back while capturing a moment featuring Siddhant. Several scenic frames of Manali’s natural beauty were also shared, suggesting the trip was equal parts leisure and work.

Toward the end of the carousel, a group photo featuring the three actors along with what appears to be a film crew has intensified rumours that they are working on a new cinematic venture. The post was accompanied by the dreamy tones of Ed Sheeran’s latest track Sapphire, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the images.

In his caption, Ishaan wrote, “Manali shanali with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Pooja Hegde. Rains, roads and realness but a fun adventure, no thanks to traffic.” The post quickly caught attention, with actress Katrina Kaif—his Phone Bhoot co-star—commenting, “Cuties.” Fans eagerly speculated in the comments, with one asking, “New movie?” and another remarking, “It’s giving Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani vibes.”
