The audience is yet to witness the Heropanti of Tiger Shroff but it seems that producer Sajid Nadiadwala is already bowled over by his hero. And also Alia Bhatt, the heroine of his two recent productions, Highway and 2 States.

 Mirror has learnt that Sajid is toying with the idea of casting Tiger and Alia in a romcom. The script is being developed.

 “After her impressive turn in Highway and 2 States, both of which were presented by Sajid, he wants to score a hat-trick with Alia. He thinks Tiger and she will make a saleable jodi, confident of Tiger’s as-yet-unseen star presence,” informs a source close to the production.

 The producer-director is presently in Poland, wrapping up the final schedule shooting high-octane action scenes with Salman Khan for his directorial debut Kick.

 “Once Kick is out of the way, Sajid plans to produce this sweet, breezy love story with a strong emotional core,” revealed the source, adding that he has already had a word with the two actor who have responded positively.

 According to the source Tiger and Alia recently met at the premiere of 2 States and bonded instantly.

 The film is likely to commence production by the end of this year. “Alia should be done with Karan Johar’s Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania co-starring Varun Dhawan and Tiger’s debut film would also be out by then,” said the source.

 Sajid Nadiadwala, who is in Poland, could not be reached for a comment.
