Kartik Aaryan has become a household name after Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 and Sonu ke Titu Ki Sweety. His frustrated rant amusingly became every guy’s dream speech and now the makers in the town know how to pull this generation to the theatres. Which is why, Dinesh Vijan will be probably roping in an upcoming rom-com and we don’t complain! As per the reports in DNA, Kartik will be romancing Shraddha Kapoor in this light-love tale.

A source told the daily, “After the super success of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, Kartik and Dinu met several times before finally zeroing down on the script to collaborate on. Kartik has already signed the film which is a rom-com, helmed by Marathi director Laxman Utekar who has been the DOP (director of photography) on Bollywood films like 102 Not Out, Hindi Medium and Dear Zindagi.”

Confirming the Ok Jaanu actress as the lead in the film, the source added, “Shraddha Kapoor has been roped in to play Kartik’s romantic interest in the film. The team wanted a heroine from the younger lot and Dinesh, who’s already working with Shraddha in his next production, Stree, met her to discuss the new film. She liked the idea but is yet to sign on the dotted line.”

Currently, Ms Kapoor will be next seen Batti Gul meter Chalu alongside Shahid Kapoor. They will star in the same film for the second time, after Vishal Bhardwaj’s Haider. She will also be seen in ‘Stree’ that stars Rajkummar Rao.
