Kartik Aaryan is currently shooting for the romantic thriller film Freddy.
Jawaani Jaaneman actress Alaya F has been cast as the female lead opposite him.
However, looks like Alaya was not the 1st choice of the makers if this Bollywood Hungama article is to be believed.
SOTY 2 actress Tara Sutaria was allegedly first among the multiple heroines approached for the role. But date issues posed a barrier for Tara it seems and she had to decline the opportunity.
A source told the portal – “Sajid Nadiadwala who is producing Tadap and Heropanti 2 with Tara, plans to sign her for another film. In fact, she also has to shoot for Ek Villain 2 with Arjun Kapoor now for a few days. When she was offered Freddy, her dates clashed with a few days of Heropanti 2 shoot and Sajid refused to let her go as that would have hampered his project. Eventually, she had to say no to the makers of Freddy.”
What do you think of the Alaya-Kartik pairing? Meanwhile, apart from Freddy, Kartik has Dhamaka release, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, Captain India and Sameer Vidwans’ directorial lined up ahead of him.
