Arjun Reddy Remake: After Tara Sutaria's Exit, Kiara Advani Steps In To Romance Shahid Kapoor
With Tara Sutaria's exit from Shahid Kapoor's Arjun Reddy remake, everyone was curious to know which actress would step into her shoes. It's now confirmed that Kiara Advani will play the leading lady.
Since
the
time
it
has
been
announced,
the
Hindi
remake
of
the
Telugu
blockbuster,
Arjun
Reddy
which
starred
Vijay
Deverakonda
and
Shalini
Pandey,
has
been
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
Bhushan
Kumar's
T-Series
with
Krishan
Kumar
and
Cine1
Studios'
Murad
Khetani
and
Ashwin
Varde
to
helm
the
Hindi
version
as
well.
After
that,
the
film
made
headlines
when
Shahid
Kapoor
was
locked
to
play
the
title
role.
Reportedly,
Tara
Sutaria
who
is
all
set
to
debut
in
Bollywood
with
Tiger
Shroff's
Student
Of
The
Year
2
was
supposed
to
star
in
the
Hindi
remake.
However,
the
actress
opted
out
of
the
film
due
to
reasons
best
known
to
her.
With
Tara's
exit,
everyone
was
curious
to
know
which
actress
would
step
into
her
shoes.
But
now,
the
wait
is
finally
over.
It's
now
official
that
Kiara
Advani
will
be
the
leading
lady
of
the
film.
Did
You
Know
That
Kiara
Advani
Was
The
First
Choice
For
The
Film?
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.
She
Was
Destined
To
Do
This
Film
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.
Kiara
Calls
It
One
Of
Her
Most
Challenging
Roles
Of
Her
Career
So
Far
"Arjun
Reddy
has
always
been
one
of
my
favorite
films,"
she
says.
"There
are
so
many
shades
to
the
heroine's
character;
I'm
very
excited
about
it."
The
film
will
require
Kiara
to
have
several
variations
in
terms
of
performance
as
well
as
look.
Here's
Why
Kiara
Bagged
The
Film
Filmmaker
Sandeep
adds,
"Kiara
epitomizes
the
female
character
in
the
film
to
the
T.
She
has
the
perfect
combination
of
innocence
(in
terms
of
looks)
and
maturity
(in
terms
of
performance)
that's
so
important
for
the
character."
Well,
we
just
can't
wait
to
watch
this
fresh
pairing
on
the
big
screen.
What
about
you
folks?
