This will be her third film with filmmaker and good friend, Mohit Suri
It looks like its final. As per a leading daily, the lovely Shraddha Kapoor has been finalized to play the lead in Mohit Suri’s Half Girlfriend. Earlier, names of actresses like Kriti Sanon and Katrina Kaif was floating in but now the makers have zeroed down upon Shraddha.
The film is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel of the same name. A love story, it talks about the relationship between a boy from a rural background, Madhav and a sophisticated English-speaking Delhi girl, Riya who become friends, separate, reunite and part again to unite in the end. The story is quite similar to a Bollywood love story.
This is Shraddha third film with Mohit Suri, with whom she has worked in Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain. It will be the second film of her to be adapted from a novel after the much-lauded, Haider. This is the first time she will be playing a Delhi girl.
She will also be seen in the Hindi remake of Mani Ratnam’s O Kadhal Kanmani, which is to be directed by Shaad Ali. The film will be produced by Karan Johar and star Aditya Roy Kapur in the main lead. The two shared an amazing chemistry in Aashiqui 2 and fans will be hoping that Shaad will recreate the magic.
In 2016, she has two big films, Baaghi: A Rebel For Love opposite Tiger Shroff and Rock On!! 2, where she has been paired with Farhan Akhtar.
