After Wedding Fallout with Smriti Mandhana, Palash Muchhal Announces New Film Starring Shreyas Talpade
Composer and filmmaker Palash Muchhal is turning a new chapter as he returns to work following weeks of public attention surrounding his personal life. After the cancellation of his wedding with Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana, Palash has revealed his next directorial project, which will feature actor Shreyas Talpade in a prominent role.
The untitled film is set against the vibrant backdrop of Mumbai and is expected to start filming soon. Despite ongoing discussions on social media about Palash’s personal life, the filmmaker remains focused on his professional journey, marking a fresh phase as a director.
The update was shared by renowned film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who announced that Shreyas Talpade will lead Palash Muchhal’s upcoming film. Talpade is set to portray a relatable “common man,” a character type he is widely acclaimed for. While the shoot is anticipated to commence shortly in Mumbai, details about the film’s storyline, supporting cast, and release date are yet to be disclosed.
This project marks Palash’s first film venture since his wedding cancellation made headlines earlier in November. To recap, Palash Muchhal and Smriti Mandhana had planned to marry on November 23, 2025, after a long-term relationship. Palash famously proposed to Smriti on a cricket ground, and the couple completed several pre-wedding ceremonies, including sangeet and haldi.
However, a day before the wedding, rumours about Palash’s alleged infidelity with a choreographer surfaced online. Though the claims were never officially confirmed, the families first announced a postponement and later confirmed the wedding’s cancellation.
For Smriti Mandhana, 2025 was a year of highs and lows. While she celebrated a historic Women’s World Cup victory, the wedding controversy became a widely discussed topic. Notably, Smriti did not mention Palash in her 2025 recap video shared on social media. Looking forward, she expressed optimism, describing her 2026 journey as “a game” and highlighting the importance of staying consistent and motivated.
