SCOOP: After Tara Sutaria's exit, Kiara Advani joins Shahid Kapoor sta

Shahid Kapoor has been pretty busy with
the promotions of Batti Gul Meter Chalu and
prepping for his next, Arjun Reddy remake.
Arjun Reddy, which was supposed to go on
floor in August, reportedly got delayed but
the reasons were unknown. Recently,
Shahid clarified that the director wanted
him to grow his beard more to get the
proper look for the film. But, the film faced
another hurdle when the lead actress Tara
Sutaria had back out from the project. Now,
we hear that Kiara Advani has been roped
in for the project.
The hunt for the new leading was on and
several names had popped up. While the
rumours mills suggested several names, it
seems like the film has landed in Kiara
Advania's kitty. According to the sources,
Kiara Advani has been reportedly roped in
to replace Tara Sutaria in Shahid Kapoor
starrer. As Kiara has had a pretty good year
with her Netflix film Lust Stories, she has
definitely become a breakout star. So,
getting her on board seems like the right
choice.
Tara Sutaria had to back out of the project
due to the contract with Dharma
Productions for Student Of The Year 2. As
the film was supposed to release in
November this year, it would have been her
first film and she could have gone ahead
with the second film. But, SOTY 2 has been
pushed for next year and her contract with
Dharma states that SOTY 2 will be her first
film and no other film can be released
before that. Therefore, Tara had to part
ways from the film.
Sandeep Vanga, who directed the Telugu
film Arjun Reddy, will also be directing its
Hindi remake. Produced by Ashwin Varde
and Murad Khetani, the original film starred
Vijay Devarakonda and Shalini Pandey in
leading roles.
