In a major casting development, South Asian heartthrob Fawad Khan is finally back on screen, uniting with the gorgeous Indian actor Vaani Kapoor for an upcoming rom-com. This international project, directed by Aarti Bagdi, will be a Hindi-language film shot entirely in the UK. Fawad Khan’s massive international appeal, bolstered by his popularity among South Asians worldwide and his stint in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, makes this pairing highly anticipated.
The project is set to go on floors in September this year and will wrap up by November. “Details of this project are being kept under wraps, and everyone is tight-lipped about it. The producers will announce this project just before it starts its filming schedule in the UK,” informs a trade source. Vaani Kapoor has been a part of big films, and she was the perfect choice for this project, given how she has protected herself from being over-exposed. The makers wanted incredibly fresh casting, where Fawad falls in love with a gorgeous Indian girl, and Vaani fit right in,” adds the source. This yet-untitled film marks Eastwood Studios’ first international collaboration, with the company founded by Vivek B. Agrawal and Devang Dholakia.
The pairing of Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor is particularly exciting, as the two talented actors come together to tell the story of how two broken people find love unintentionally. This dynamic duo’s electric connection promises to bring an exciting new energy to the screen. I can’t wait to see their chemistry unfold, and I’m eagerly anticipating the fresh and captivating performances they will deliver in this romantic comedy.
