MUMBAI : In a major casting development, 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.

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.

“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.

The project is set to go on floors in September this year and will wrap by November.
