Ekta Kapoor's next venture Half Girlfriend, which is being directed by Mohit Suri has been doing the rounds for quite a sometime now!
With Sushant Singh Rajput having opted out his mentor's project due to date issues, here comes a buzz of B-town's chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor having roped in to step into the shoes of Madhav Jha.
According to a report, Shahid Kapoor was initially the original choice of the makers. A source close to the development told the daily, “Shahid was to play the Bihari loverboy. Then Shahid’s Shaandaar bombed and the film’s producers went to Sushant. Unfortunately for them, he had already given away those dates to Dinesh Vijan for his directorial debut.”
The source further added, “Shahid is now back in the project. It seems the role was destined for him.”
Currently, Shahid is busy with Abhishek Chaubey's Udta Punjab starring Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt and Diljit Dosanjh.
