Ishaqzaade team didn't know Arjun was Boney's son

The casting director of 'Ishaqzaade' came across Arjun Kapoor through a social networking site.

While most star kids get their debut films because of their starry background and most 'Kapoors' get them because of the name Kapoor itself, here is one Kapoor who has a different story to tell.

Boney Kapoor's son and Sonam Kapoor's Cousin Arjun Kapoor, is all set to make his debut with YRF's Ishaqzaade this May. What many don't know is how Arjun managed to get this role.

Arjun Kapoor was cast through the social networking site Facebook. Says a source associated with the film, "YRF's casting director Shanoo Sharma came across Arjun's profile on Facebook and immediately decided to meet him. At that time, no one knew that Arjun was Boney Kapoor's son. Once they met Arjun, they were sure that they wanted no one else but Arjun for this film."

From trending on twitter when the promo released to being cast through Facebook, Bollywood's next Buzz Boy Arjun Kapoor seems to have quite a connection with the social networking sites - a powerful medium to connect with millions of people at a time.
