Kartik Aaryan to star with Ananya Panday in ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’ remake?

Kartik Aaryan has been linked to some huge projects of late, with the recent being the remake of the 1978 film ‘Pati Patni Aur Woh’, opposite newcomer Ananya Panday.

A source told DNA India, “Ananya has been signed on for the Pati Patni Aur Woh remake, which is being produced by Juno Chopra. She will essay the role that was portrayed by Ranjeeta Kaur in the original. The idea is to make it a modern version of the classic with a young cast. The makers wanted someone cute as well as glamorous for the part and she fit the bill. When the script was narrated to her, she was in splits and gave bulk dates, almost immediately.”

Another leading actress is expected to be signed for the film, to play the role originally played by Vidya Sinha.

The source added, “He was the top contender for the male lead as he’s popular with the youth today. The makers wanted a hero, who has a boy-next-door vibe and is also great with comedy, since it’s a humorous take on extra-marital affairs. So, the Sonu Ke Titu Ke Sweety actor was their first choice. Kartik and Ananya have already done a few readings together.”
