After the surprise Rs 100 crore grossing success of Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety earlier this year, its lead star Kartik Aaryan is in high demand. He has signed several interesting projects following the praise received for his performance. Among these projects is a romcom with Dinesh Vijan. Titled Luka Chuppi, the movie will be produced by Vijan and directed by Marathi film-maker, Laxman Utekar (Lalbaugcha Raja).

There were reports that Kartik will be romancing Shraddha Kapoor in the movie. However, in an interview to Mumbai Mirror, Dinesh Vijan refuted those rumours and confirmed that it would Kriti Sanon who is signed as the female lead, and not Shraddha. He also mentioned that the movie will be shot in Mathura, Gwalior and Agra.

Speaking to Mirror, Vijan revealed more details about Luka Chuppi as he said, "Kartik plays the star reporter of a local TV channel in Mathura. We had toyed with the title Mathura Live before settling for a game of hide-and-seek. While Kartik is the quintessential good boy every girl wants to take home to mamma, Kriti represents today’s youth who advocate gender equality and have their own ideology. The dialogues have a touch of the local dialect and being from the region, both are familiar with the setting and the lingo. They also have a crackling chemistry”

Interestingly, Kriti is also a part of Arjun Patiala, co-starring Diljit Dosanjh and Varun Sharma, that is made by Vijan. Speaking more about the kind of movies he wants to be associated with, Vijan revealed, "My films have always been content-centric and real India is in these small towns. That’s where the stories are. And well-told desi stories have a terrific connect with every kind of audience, going by the super success of Hindi Medium not just back home but also in a country like China where Hindi is not even their medium of communication."
