From the day it has been announced, Arjun Reddy, which is the Hindi remake of the Telegu superhit film, has been getting much attention. The film first made news when the director of the original film, Sandeep Vanga, was taken aboard by producer Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series with Krishan Kumar and Cine1 Studios’ Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde to helm the Hindi version as well.

After that, the film made it to the news when Shahid Kapoor was signed to play the title role. Starring opposite Shahid Kapoor now for the first time is Kiara Advani who will essay the role of his love interest in this film. Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani had also starred in a video named Urvashi too.

It is sheer coincidence and destiny that Kiara was the first to be considered when the director initially started scouting for his heroine. Kiara and Sandeep had even met and discussed the possibility. But later, due to date issues (the film was supposed to go on floors in August earlier), the talks took a bit of a backseat. Now that the film is going on floors in early October, things fell back in place. Kiara has now signed the film and the actress has even started her creative meetings with Sandeep Vanga.

Way to go Kiara!!
