In a coup of sorts, South Asian heartthrob Fawad Khan and gorgeous Indian actor Vaani Kapoor are pairing up for a rom-com. This international project is a Hindi language film that will be shot entirely in UK. The film is being directed by Aarti Bagdi.
“Fawad Khan has a massive international pull given his popularity amongst South Asians worldwide. He has also been a part of the Marvel cinematic universe. Details of this project is 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 UK,” informs a trade source.
This yet untitled film is Eastwood Studios first international collaboration. Eastwood Studios is a film company started by Vivek B Agrawal (ex-Reliance/Phantom) and Devang Dholakia. Vivek has previously produced acclaimed and cult films like Queen, Udta Punjab, Super 30 and Netflix’s first series in India Sacred Games which became a global blockbuster on the platform.
“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 an incredibly fresh casting where Fawad falls in love with a gorgeous Indian girl and Vaani fit right in,” informs the source.
This rom-com tells the story of how two broken people come together by a stroke of luck and end up helping each other unintentionally… falling in love is an eventual byproduct of their electric connection.
The project is set to go on floors in September this year and will wrap by November.
