Kriti Sanon opposite Aditya Roy Kapur in Mohit Suri’s next?

Last year there were rumours that Kriti Sanon and Aditya Roy Kapur were teaming up for a film. The rumour failed to materialise, but it seems the pairing will finally happen this year in Mohit Suri’s next feature film.

Reports recently began to spread that that Suri had locked Kapur for his film after the pair were spotted having several meetings at his office. One source said, according to DNA, “Aditya has not had a release in the last one year after OK Jaanu. He wanted to try out something he’s never done before. He was Mohit’s first choice because they are great friends.”

Suri is now after Sanon as the leading lady. “They met a couple of times and Kriti and her team have verbally given the nod to the film. But they are yet to lock the dates and sign on the dotted line,” the source revealed. Kriti, who has ‘liked the idea’ of the movie, had confirmed it months ago but there was no progress on the project for a while. Now, with the film back on track, the final round of modalities is being worked on. “Kriti will give her dates once she’s back from Chandigarh where she’s shooting for another film. Mohit’s venture should roll in the next few months,” said the source.

While speculations have been rife that it’s a love story, the source informed, “It’s an edgy romantic thriller. It was an idea that Mohit was toying with for quite some time and he has finally cracked the script.”

The film will feature another male lead too. “It’s a love triangle between a girl and two boys. The hunt for the other male lead is on. They have also spoken to a few young actors and once they get a confirmation, they will announce the film,” adds the source.
