' Lovers' together

Aditya-Shraddha apt selection for Tigmanshu Dhulia's Milan Talkies

Filmmaker Tigmanshu Dhulia has cast Aashiqui 2 stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor on-screen again for his much-ambitious love story, Milan Talkies.

The director finalised on Aditya and Shraddha after Sonakshi Sinha, Imran Khan and Shahid Kapoor opted out of the Balaji Motion Pictures production film.

“Aditya and Shraddha have been finalised for the film and we are yet to begin the shooting. I had Shraddha in my mind before Aashiqui 2 happened. She came for auditions two years ago. She was the first choice for the film. As far as the male lead is concerned these actors (Shahid and Imran) did not have dates, so they opted out of the film before signing the contract. Aditya and Shraddha are perfect for the film,“ said Tigmanshu.

Tigmanshu is teaming up with Ekta Kapoor for the film and the director says she is a “good producer“ to work with.

“Ektaji is a good and one of the successful producers. As a producer all of her films have been successful. She has a brilliant sense of marketing and publicity. She gives enough space to a director,“ he said.
