Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon joined by Dimple Kapadia in their upcoming love story- Report

A while ago, reports did round that Shahid Kapoor is all set to return to the romantic genre in a film with Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, and soon it was reported that in this love story, he will be seen romancing Kriti Sanon. The first time pairing of these actors, and the backing of Vijan, made this project quite exciting from the word go. In between, there were some reports saying that the actor has indeed backed out from the project and the film has been shelved, but seems like those rumours were false as the latest reports suggest that Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon have already welcomed a new teammate in the film and are set to start shooting.

While there hasn’t been any official announcement regarding the project yet, this Shahid-Kriti starrer is touted to be a unique love story between a man and a robot, and now according to a report in Pinkvilla, actress Dimple Kapadia has also joined the team. A source close to the development shared, “Dimple plays a key role in this Maddock Production. Dimple has done films like Cocktail, Finding Fanny, and Angrezi Medium for the banner and is now all excited to reunite with them on this unique romantic comedy set against the backdrop of a robotic world. Her character brings a brilliant arc to the story. She is excited to join the cast.”

Dimple was earlier supposed to work in another Maddock film with Kriti Sanon, Hum Do Hamare Do, but had to back out at the last minute due to date issues. That role was later played by Ratna Pathak Shah. The report further stated that the romantic comedy goes on floors in Mumbai today, October 29, and this shoot will be followed by a schedule in Delhi, before the team finally jets off to Europe for a marathon schedule. The film is expected to release theatrically in 2023.

The film marks Shahid’s first collaboration with Maddock as well as Kriti and the source reveals he is quite excited for both of these. As of now, Shahid has Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bloody Daddy and his web debut Farzi in the pipeline. As for Kriti, she is all set for the release of another Maddock collaboration, Bhediya, next month with Varun Dhawan, followed by Adipurush with Prabhas and Saif Ali Khan, Shehzada with Kartik Aaryan and Ganapath: Part 1 with Tiger Shroff.
