Monday, 29th Sept 2014, 1:58 PM IST Chetan Bhagat’s next book ‘Half Girlfriend’ will be launched in the month of October and the plans to make the movie on it has already started.The movie will be produced by Ekta Kapoor, Chetan Bhagat and Mohit Suri, and it will be helmed by Mohit Suri itself. And now, here’s a development about the film. It is learnt that the talented actress Alia Bhatt will be seen playing the lead role of Riya in the film. A source said, "Riya is a student at St. Stephen's and has an air of self-importance around her. But that is just her exterior." It was also said that Kriti Sanon and Huma Qureshi were considered for the role, but the source said, "No, they are just launching the book." Talking about Alia Bhatt, the source said, "It's a role tailor-made for Alia and both Mohit and Chetan believe that Alia, who had earlier played Ananya Swaminathan in '2 States' based on another Chetan bestseller, will do complete justice to Riya. Alia herself is keen to work with Mohit, who is her cousin." When Mohit was asked about Alia being a part of the film, he said, "Alia is an amazing actress. I'm currently developing the script and haven't reached the casting stage. All I can say at the moment is that she'd be great for the part." |
