Arjun Kapoor to star in Hindi remake of Telugu film Arjun Reddy!

Previously, it was stated that the Hindi remake of the Telugu hit movie, Arjun Reddy is on the cards. Numerous leading male stars like Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor and Varun Dhawan's name started coming up for the lead role. Furthermore, Varun was almost finalised for the titular role. It was also told that the movie will again bring Sajid Nadiadwala and Varun Dhawan together after their 2017 superhit Judwaa 2.

But now as per news in a famous tabloid, not Varun Dhawan, but Arjun Kapoor will be starring as Arjun Reddy in the Hindi remake of the film. Talking about it, an insider specified to the daily, "Yes, it's true. Though it has taken three-four months of continuous and tireless efforts, the rights have worked out. Murad Khetani (producer) has officially bagged it but Arjun too put in his share of efforts to ensure that the rights came through."

The source further revealed, "Arjun had worked on profit-sharing basis in Ki & Ka (2016) as well but this time, he wants his involvement to be more pronounced. Considering the fact that Arjun Reddy got an A certificate, the Hindi version will also be a mature and sensitive film with an intense love story at its heart."

The source went on to add, "The movie will be like Rockstar meets Dev. D. Also, since the film’s rights have been bought at a high price and it’s not going to be a typical masala potboiler, Arjun doesn’t want to overburden the project with his fee. He doesn’t want budget to become an impediment; and instead aims to see a quality film minus any compromises."


The insider concluded by telling, "There are chances that the original film’s director (Sandeep Vanga) will helm this version too, but all such details — including when the film goes on the floor — will be decided upon when the makers and Arjun meet later this month or early on in February."
