Shahid Kapoor’s upcoming project, the Hindi remake of Telugu film Arjun Reddy, has been making headlines for a while for speculation over its female lead. Newcomer Tara Sutaria, who is making her debut in Bollywood with Student Of the Year 2, was supposed to star opposite Shahid in Arjun Reddy but after she quit the project owing to date issues, Kiara Advani has apparently signed the role, according to a report.

Kiara will apparently star in Dharma Productions’ Good News, co-starring Kareena Kapoor Khan and Akshay Kumar and considering the fact that the film has been delayed by a couple of months, the 26-year-old actress has some time to spare, during which she will shoot with Shahid for Arjun Reddy, as per the report. In fact, Kiara has also filmed a song for Arjun Reddy – the recreated version of Urvashi Urvashi, with Shahid.

Tara is currently filming Student Of the Year 2, co-starring Tiger Shroff and Ananya Panday, and had to opt of out of Arjun Reddy after the release date of her debut project was postponed from November 2018 to May 2019. The shooting schedule for both films clashed as a result of which Tara quit Shahid’s film.

However, no official confirmation has been issued so far on Kiara signing Arjun Reddy though. Kiara made her debut in Bollywood with Fugly in 2014 and subsequently starred in the films M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, Machine and Lust Stories.
