Shraddha Kapoor to star opposite Kartik in ‘Satyanarayan ki Katha’? She seems like a perfect choice: Reports

Kartik Aaryan is making it to the headlines as he recently announced his next ambitious project with Sajid Nadiadwala. The actor will be seen starring as the male lead in a modern day epic musical romance Satyanarayan ki Katha. While the makers are yet to announce Kartik’s co-star, a recent report suggests Shraddha Kapoor is likely to join the project as the female lead.

A recent Bollywood Hungama report quoted a source informing that Shraddha seems like a perfect choice as the new pairing will also add freshness to the script.

"Sajid Nadiadwala has already bounced the idea to his in-house favourite Shraddha Kapoor and she has absolutely loved it. In fact, she has also agreed to be a part of the film. But it's all verbal at this point and a contractual agreement is currently not in place. Shraddha seems like a perfect choice because the new pairing will also add freshness to the script. Kartik and Shraddha will look extremely good together and although it's Kartik's story majorly, Shraddha has a very important part to play in it as well," the source explained.

Kartik and Shraddha will be seen together for the first time, however, this isn't the first time they have been offered the same project. Previously, Dinesh Vijan had reportedly approached the two actors for a film and they were also rumoured to be doing Kirik Party together, but none of it materialised.

The Pati Patni Aur Woh actor announced his next project on Wednesday (June 23) and even shared a video poster of his upcoming film. Directed by Sameer Vidwans and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala the film will release in 2022. 

Meanwhile, on the work front, Kartik also has Dhamaka lined up for release on an OTT platform and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 with Kiara Advani and Tabu.
