Shahid Kapoor’s next project, the remake of Arjun Reddy will go on floors in October. The film has been written and will be directed by Sandeep Vanga. Shahid will sport a rugged avatar in the film and has been growing his beard for the same. For the female lead, Tara Sutaria had been roped. The team will have to hunt for a new leading because unfortunately, Tara Sutaria who was supposed to star with him has walked left the project.
According to sources, Tara had back out of the project because her debut film Student Of The Year 2 has been postponed to May 2019. Tara has signed a contract with Dharma that SOTY 2 will be her first film and no other film can be released before that. So, it means that the makers of Arjun Reddy remake will have to wait until June or July 2019. These terms were unacceptable to the makers and therefore they and Tara’s managers decided to part ways amicably.
Tara Sutaria is currently shooting for her debut film, Student of the Year 2 in which she stars with Tiger Shroff and Ananya Panday. Tara’s co-star in the film, Ananya Panday will also be making her debut with Student of the Year 2.
Student of the Year 2 is the sequel to 2012 Karan Johar directorial Student of the Year. The film has been helmed by Punit Malhotra and is being shot in Dehradun. Student of the Year 2 was going to release in November this year. However, the film has been pushed to May next year. Karan Johar, the film’s producer had announced it on his social media account.
On the personal front, Shahid became a dad for the second time after wife Mira Rajput gave birth to a baby boy last night. He is growing his beard and getting into the look for Arjun Reddy. He will soon resume work after a short paternity leave.
