Mumbai: Arjun Kapoor will be playing the lead role in Nikkhil Advani’s next production. Now, speculations are that Kriti Sanon has been roped in as his leading actress in the movie. Interestingly, this is not the first time where the actress’ name is associated with a film starring Arjun Kapoor.

Now, a report in DNA suggests that the actor has signed on the dotted line, and he has found a leading lady as well. The makers wanted a fresh pairing, so they approached Kriti Sanon for heroine’s role. She has liked the script and committed to it, though she hasn’t signed it yet as the modalities are being worked out. 

Finally, after two misses, Kriti and Arjun have been cast together. Kriti and Arjun were in pipeline for the same film. Interestingly, both times, it was for Farzi. Raj and DK announced Farzi with Shahid Kapoor and Kriti. When Shahid left the film, they replaced him with Arjun. But the film was put on the back burner. 

They planned to revive it with Arjun and Kriti, earlier this year but then, Arjun walked out. So, this is the third time that Arjun and Kriti have been offered a film together. Kriti Sanon was last seen in Bareilly Ki Bafi which garnered good reviews and did well at the box office. 

Whereas Arjun Kapoor was seen in a double role in his last outing Mubarakan. The family entertainer was loved by audiences and did a decent job at the box office.
