ZNew Delhi: The brains behind the remake of the 1991 hit 'Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin' are reportedly torn between two actresses – Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor – to rope in as the lead. While the original starred Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt in pivotal roles and Emraan Hashmi has been zeroed in on as the actor to step in the shoes of Aamir, the hunt for the leading lady is now down to Alia and Shraddha.
While Shraddha Kapoor was last seen in 'Aashiqui 2' with Aditya Roy Kapur and the film emerged a blockbuster, Alia Bhatt was a part of Karan Johar's 'Student Of The Year' – which too, was a hit.
As per reports, while Bhushan Kumar is keen on Shraddha Kapoor playing the lead opposite to Emraan Hashmi, the Bhatts want their own Alia to reprise Pooja's character from the original. The director for the film is yet to be finalised and it waits to be seen which of the two new actresses makes it to the 'Lights, Camera, Action'!
