Our sources say that the buddy-buddy baatein between the two is for a film that they are planning to star together in. For long, Imtiaz Ali has been planning his film on Radha-Krishna and Deepika and Kartik have both indicated that they would want to be featured in the film. Radha was always older than Krishna — Deepika is 34 to Kartik’s 29, and they will look good as a couple, following this digital-dosti that they share now,” says our source.

Kartik Aryan ain't no baby face for DP to look older. I think they'll fit perfectly. Trouble is neither is any great shakes as an actor, and I can't for the life of me imagine them bringing the nuances found in Jayadeva's poem.
ETA. Oops. Thought it was Luv Ranjan directing 😂. I didn't want him turning someone who could be called a feminist deity into a misogynistic lech.
Imtiaz is a diff story. He did make DP do that magnificent scene in Tamaasha, so maybe...
Edited by MahanalayakKarn - 4 years agoCan imtaiz cast better actors I will not be able to bear Deepika and Karthik ruin my radha Krishna. Deepika is already going to ruin drapaudi 😭
I don't want DP as Panchali under any circumstances, but she might be able to pull off Radha with Imtiaz Ali. I just can't stomach Karthik's smirking face as Krishna.
