Why Saif Ali Khan's daughter Sara Ali Khan is likely to debut opposite Sushant Singh Rajput

There has been much speculation about Sara Ali Khan’s debut film. It can now be confirmed that her first film will be opposite Sushant Singh Rajput.  

It has already been reported that the actor will be working again with his Kai Po Che director Abhishek ‘Gattu’ Kapoor’s film. Now Sara joins the cast. Says a source, “Sushant was to do Abhishek’s i, but his dates weren’t available. Now, they are coming together with a love story. The film is scheduled to go on floors sometime next year.”

A khabri from the production house (Balaji Motion Pictures) reveals, “Gattu wanted a fresh pairing for his film. He decided to cast Saif’s daughter as the female lead in the film.  The team has met Sara and she has liked it. She is most likely to sign on within two weeks. Ekta is very close to Sara’s mom Amrita Singh. In fact, Ekta revived her career on the small screen when she wanted to return to acting. Amrita was also seen in Ekta’s production, A Flying Jatt, as Tiger Shroff’s mom. Amrita trusts her to launch her daughter, and has given her blessings to this project”

In his next few projects Sushant will be paired with heroines he hasn’t worked with before. There’s Drive (with Jacqueline), Chanda Mama Door Ke (heroine unannounced) and RAW (with Disha Patani). and Raabta (Kriti Sanon) plus Abhishek Chaubey’s untitled film.
