Confirmed: Kartik Aaryan to star opposite Sara Ali Khan in Imtiaz Ali’s film; Glad it’s finally happening, he says

Hold your breath, guys, because rumours surrounding Imtiaz Ali’s film with Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan are nothing but…..true. Kartik confirmed the news to a leading daily, saying that he has signed up for Imtiaz’s upcoming film and is more than glad to have done so. “Yes, I am doing Imtiaz sir’s 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,” Kartik told the daily.

Sources told the daily that the yet-untitled project will begin filming in Delhi next week and also stars Randeep Hooda apart from Sara Ali Khan and Kartik. Imtiaz had also directed Randeep in his 2014 film Highway. “Kartik, Sara and Randeep have been doing readings for a while now and the film is ready to go on the floors. 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,” a source was quoted as saying by the daily.

Imtiaz’s film with Kartik and Sara is reported to be a sequel to the director’s 2009 film Love Aaj Kal but no official confirmation has been made on rumours as such so far. “While Kartik and Sara are paired opposite each other, Randeep’s role is similar to that of Rishi Kapoor’s in Love Aaj Kal,” the source added.

Nevertheless, this is big news for us as well as Sara Ali Khan, who during her appearance on Koffee With Karan 6, had expressed interest in ‘dating’ Kartik Aaryan. Well, we don’t know about that but as of now, we cannot to wait to watch Kartik and Sara on screen already.

Sara made her debut in Bollywood with Kedarnath in 2018, and subsequently appeared opposite Ranveer Singh in Simmba. Kartik Aaryan is the star of films Pyaar Ka Punchnama, Pyaar Ka Punchnama 2 and Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety, while his new film Luka Chhupi released today.
