We were all anticipating a Deepika-Fawad on-screen union, but from what we hear it’s going to be Fawad and Katrina instead, that too in a Punjabi movie.
According to Mumbai Mirror, the two will be seen together in Karan Johar and Fox Star Studio’s next production, which will also mark writer-lyricist Aditya Dhar’s directorial debut. It’s no surprise that the one to rope in the Pakistani actor is famed director KJo.
The yet-to-be-titled film is based in North India with a backdrop of a lavish Punjabi wedding.
“The shoot is expected to kick off in Delhi sometime in November. Fawad is set to welcome his second child in October in Pakistan and will be by wife Sadaf’s side till the baby is born. The film will roll once he’s back in India and ready to resume shoot,” a source close to the publication disclosed.
A source added that the story line follows a love theme and is set in North India. It will feature a big fat Punjabi wedding and will revolve around Fawad and Katrina’s Punjabi families. The film will be a celebration of North Indian culture and revelry.
However, not everything has been finalised as yet. “Once done with the Delhi schedule, the team will move abroad. The locations are yet to be finalised and will be decided once Karan Johar returns from the US where he is currently on a concert tour,” said the source.
The film is expected to wrap up by January and the team is looking at a 2017 release. Fawad will next be seen in Johar’s Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
