A few days ago, we had told you about Ayushmann Khurrana and director Abhishek Kapoor’s maiden collaboration, in which the actor will play a cross-functional athlete. And now, here’s another update on the yet-untitled project, which is scheduled to go on floors this October. BT has it that actress Vaani Kapoor will play Ayushmann’s leading lady in the movie.

Confirming the news, Abhishek says, “Vaani is a committed actor, and I am looking forward to working with her and Ayushmann. This is the first time they will be seen together on screen and I believe that their combo will be electrifying.”

Vaani is equally excited about teaming up with Abhishek, who has helmed films like Rock On!!, Kai Po Che and Kedarnath, and Ayushmann, whose range of films has impressed the audience over the years. She says, “I have always wanted to work with Abhishek, as I am inspired by his films. This is an amazing opportunity to be a part of his vision. Also, Ayushmann is one of the most talented actors of our generation and I’m thrilled about our first outing together, which is a progressive love story.”
