Shahid Kapoor's next big project after Batti Gul Meter Chalu is the Hindi remake of popular Telegu movie, Arjun Reddy. The actor is all set to step into Vijay Deverakonda's shoes and we can't wait to see him bring the character alive on the big screen once again. While earlier reports suggested that Tara Sutaria will romance Sasha in this Hindi remake, she recently decided to quit the project for a valid reason. Since her debut movie, Student of the Year 2 was pushed till May 2019, it's dates were clashing with the Arjun Reddy remake. And there was no way for Tara to juggle between these two different projects. So she decided to quit the remake and focus on SOTY 2 instead.  Shahid Kapoor Starrer Arjun Reddy Hindi Remake to Release on June 21, 2019.

With Tara's exit, filmmakers were left in limbo to pick a suitable actress for this Hindi remake. Since Shahid wanted a relatively new face for the movie, they had to think of someone with a fresh face in the industry. And after a month-long searching, seems like they have finally zeroed down the right girl. The actress in question here is none other than Kiara Advani. Yes, as per a recent report by Bollywood Hungama, Kiara is willing to come on board for Arjun Reddy remake and her pairing with Shahid will definitely set the screen ablaze. Student of the Year 2 Actress Tara Sutaria and Boyfriend Rohan Mehra Take a Break, Is Tiger Shroff the Reason?

According to their sources, as Kiara has had a pretty good year with her Netflix film Lust Stories, she has definitely become a breakout star. So, getting her on board seems like the right choice. So, the ones who wondered if Janhvi Kapoor or Sara Ali Khan will come on board after Tara's exit from the remake, guess your assumptions were completely wrong all this while.
