While Tara Sutaria is yet to make her Bollywood debut with Student of the Year 2, she has apparently already bagged her second project. According to a report in Pinkvilla, Tara has been signed opposite Shahid Kapoor in the Hindi remake of Arjun Reddy. For those who don't know, the story of the movie revolves around a medical student and how he falls in love with his junior. Hmm.. It would rather be interesting to see how Shahid and Tara's chemistry turns out to be onscreen.
“Since Arjun Reddy was written keeping the Telugu audience's sensibilities in mind, Sandeep and the producers are currently working on the script to ensure it appeals to the Hindi cinegoer. They are keen to have a fresh pairing with Shahid. They are in advanced talks with three leading ladies. An announcement can be expected next month,” a source had informed earlier to a leading daily. Well, now we cannot wait to know who the other two leading ladies will be.
Earlier there were speculations that Arjun Kapoor would be doing the role. However, soon after that, it was made official that Shahid has bagged the opportunity. Shahid Kapoor himself confirmed the news when he posted a picture of himself on Twitter with Arjun Reddy director Sandeep Vanga (who will also be helming the remake) and producers Ashwin Varde and Murad Khetani. He captioned the picture, "Team ARJUN REDDY is READY !! Here we go. Wish us luck guys." Well, here is us wishing you guys all the very best!
The remake rights of the movie have bought for a whopping Rs 7 crores, much higher than the normal rate of between Rs 2-5 crores. Midday quotes a source saying, “Several filmmakers were trying to bag the film's remake rights. Since it was a blockbuster, the project's adaptation is highly anticipated. Ashwin Varde and Murad Khetani shelled out a cool Rs 7 crore to the producer for the Hindi version.”
