Confirmed: Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan to star in Imtiaz Ali's next

   After weeks of declaring fondness for each other on the current season of ‘Koffee With Karan’, Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan have been confirmed to star together in Imtiaz Ali’s next. Kartik confirmed the news to a daily. The film will also star Randeep Hooda.

   Talking about the project, a source said that Kartik, Sara and Randeep have been doing readings for a while now. "Unlike Imtiaz’s previous two films—Jab Harry Met Sejal and Tamasha—which were set in foreign locales, this one largely unravels in Punjab and Delhi," the source added.

   Kartik confirmed the news and said, "Yes, I am doing Imtiaz Sir next film- he is one of my favourite filmmakers and I have always wanted to work with him. I am glad it’s finally happening."

    The movie is the sequel to Imtiaz’s 2009 rom-com, Love Aaj Kal which featured Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Rishi Kapoor in lead roles. Reports were abuzz that Saif will also be starring in the movie but the actor refuted the news and said, " I’m happy to sell my stake and not be a part of the film. It’s a business deal."

   Meanwhile, talking about the upcoming movie, the source also revealed Randeep’s role will be similar to that of Rishi Kapoor’s in Love Aaj Kal. The film will be co-produced by Imtiaz and Dinesh Vijan.

    Apart from this, Kartik is currently gearing up for the release of his movie, Luka Chuppi. Helmed by Laxman Utekar, the rom-com features Kriti Sanon as the female lead. The actor will also be seen sharing the screen space with Bhumi Pednekar and Ananya Panday in Mudassar Aziz’s Pati Patni Aur Woh remake.
