Vaani Kapoor cast opposite Ranveer Singh in Aditya Chopra’s ‘Befikre’
MUMBAI: Yash Raj Films’ chairman Aditya Chopra, who will be directing his next film titled Befikre after a hiatus of seven years, has cast actress Vaani Kapoor as the female lead opposite Ranveer Singh.
Kapoor made her film debut in YRF’s Shuddh Desi Romance in 2013, where she starred alongside Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra.
Just like YRF did with Singh – the lead actor of Befikre, it released a video message wherein Kapoor shared her excitement on being part of Chopra’s next directorial venture.
Chopra’s last film was Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in 2008 starring Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma. He made the Befikre announcement on the eve of his father and veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra’s 83rd birth anniversary on 27 September. According to him, Befikre is his “riskiest” and “youngest” film. The film’s tagline is – “Those who dare to love.”
