Helmed by Omung Kumar, Silaa also stars Sadia Khateeb and is set to release on February 5, 2027. The off-screen equation between Silaa co-stars Harshvardhan Rane and Karan Veer Mehra seems to be hitting a rough patch. The actors have reportedly fallen out after wrapping up the film, and with Karan, who plays the antagonist, missing from the latest promotional material, questions are being raised about the film’s publicity strategy.
When the film was initially announced, individual posters featuring Harshvardhan, Karan and Sadia were released. The source further adds, “There are clear signs that Harshvardhan’s team is trying to cut out the other leading actor from the film’s promotional campaign. Now, even fans are questioning Karan’s whereabouts and why he is missing from the latest release-date announcement. The film is being presented as a Harshvardhan Rane film, which is factually not correct.”
Adding to the chatter, a well-placed industry source tells us that the two actors have also unfollowed each other on social media. “The two actors have unfollowed each other, and there is a reason people are questioning their equation. The film is being promoted in a way that makes it look like it revolves around just one actor, when both Harshvardhan and Karan are leads.
One plays the hero and the other plays the villain, but Karan is nowhere to be seen in the promotional activity,” says the source.
