With one hit in Hum Tum and two mediocre releases like Teri Meri Kahaani and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic behind him, Kunal Kohli is trying to play safe by casting a successful newcomer rather than an established actor.
In the process, Kunal has signed Ayushman Khurana to play the lead in his yet-to-be named rom-com. While it is certain that Ayushman will play the lead, the director is on the search of an A list actress to star opposite him.
A unit member of Kunal’s office, however, points out hat the maker is considering Diana Penty and Ileana D'Cruz for the role opposite him.
