Arjun Kapoor Paired with Shraddha Kapoor in 'Aurangzeb'

Shraddha Kapoor

Arjun Kapoor will be seen romancing Shraddha Kapoor in his new film Aurangzeb, a YRF production.

Shraddha, daughter of Shakti Kapoor, made her acting debut with Teen Patti in 2010, which headlined Amitabh Bachchan. Her second film Luv Ka The End was under the Yash Raj Film's youth banner, Y-Films. Both the films proved to be box-office duds.

Arjun will play a double role in the film. Unlike his rough look in Ishaqzaade, he will reportedly be seen dressed more chic and clean shaven in his sophomore project.

Filming will start in August for an early 2013 release, says a YRF spokesperson.

The film would be director Atul Sabharwal's first. He earlier worked with Aditya Chpra for a TV series. He had written and directed the first of its kind crime series POWDER for YRF.

In 2009 Sabharwal was to direct Junction, a debut production of Abhay Deol's Forbidden Films. The film was to feature Abhay Deol, Shilpa Shukla and Vidya Malvade. But the film never took off.
