Ever since the Hindi remake of the Telugu blockbuster, Arjun Reddy, has been announced, the film became a major point of discussion. The edgy love story first made waves when the director of the original, Sandeep Vanga, was taken aboard by producer T-Series. After that, the film made headlines when Shahid Kapoor was locked to play the titular role. Starring opposite Shahid Kapoor for the first time is Kiara Advani, who will essay the role of his love interest. 

It's sheer coincidence and destiny that Kiara was the first to be considered when the director initially started scouting for his heroine. Kiara and Sandeep had even met and discussed the possibility. But later, due to date issues (the film was supposed to go on floors in August earlier), the talks took a bit of a backseat. Now that the film is going on floors in early October, things fell back in place. Early this week, Kiara was signed for the film and the actress has even started her creative meetings with Sandeep Vanga.
