Sushant Singh Rajput To Star In HALF GIRLFRIEND
| |||
Saturday, 7th Nov 2015, 2:08 PM IST Mohit Suri will be helming the movie ‘Half Girlfriend’ based on Chetan Bhagat’s book with the same name. And the director has roped in Sushant Singh Rajput to play the lead role. Mohit said, "Sushant dropped by at my place last week and enacted one of the scenes from the book where Madhav is giving an interview for admission to a college. He was brilliant and added his own dimensions to the character." Sushant will be seen as Madhav who is a Bihari boy. The actor has lived in Patna and knows the language well. However, the director will be doing a few workshops with him once he is back from the ‘MS Dhoni: The Untold Story’ schedule. "Since he plays a national-level basketball player, he'll have to train in the sport," Mohit said. The director insists that the ‘Kai Po Che’ actor was always his first choice for the role. "Contrary to rumours, I hadn't approached anyone else. Sidharth (Malhotra) and Alia (Bhatt) had come to see ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahaani’ during the edit and people concluded that I had cast them. I'd love to work with Alia but she is busy with her commitments and I don't think that she has even read the book," the director said. The movie is expected to start rolling by next year, but the lead actress of the film is not yet finalized. "I have discussed the script with Katrina (Kaif) and I would love to work with her, but nothing has been confirmed as yet," Mohit said.
