Since the past few months, cricketer Smriti Mandhana and music composer Palaash Muchhal have been in the news regarding their cancelled wedding. After dating for 5 long years, the two were all set to get married in November last month. The wedding didn’t take place and two weeks later, Smriti and Palaash issued official statements calling off their union. Amid various rumours, Smriti eventually returned to the pitch for training. Well, it has now been reported that Palaash is also ready to resume work after taking some time off for himself.

After his cancelled wedding to Smriti Mandhana, Palaash Muchhal is now returning to the director’s chair for a new film, which will star actor Shreyas Talpade in the lead. Announcing the same, trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: “SHREYAS TALPADE TO STAR IN PALASH MUCHHAL'S NEXT FILM... #ShreyasTalpade will head the cast of director #PalashMuchhal's upcoming, as-yet-untitled film, stepping into the role of a common man. Set against the backdrop of #Mumbai, filming is expected to commence soon.” This project will mark Palaash’s third film as a director.

In November last year, weeks after Smriti and the Indian women’s team lifted the 2025 Women's World Cup trophy, Palaash went down on one knee and proposed to his longtime girlfriend at the DY Patil Stadium. They were set to tie the knot on November 23. But the wedding was indefinitely postponed when the bride’s father was hospitalised with symptoms of a heart attack. Reports later revealed that Palaash was also hospitalised. This was soon followed by rumours of Palaash allegedly cheating on Smriti on their Sangeet night with the wedding choreographer.
