Aadar Jain, the cousin of actors Kareena Kapoor Khan and Ranbir Kapoor entered into films carrying a lot of expectation from the audience with his debut Qaidi Band in 2017. But, alas, the musical drama failed to ignite enthusiasm at the box-office and fizzled out within no time. Aadar, who finds himself connected to the family of great filmmakers and actors- the Kapoors, keeping aside the debacle tale, has finally received a golden chance to be re-launched two years later under Farhan Akhtar's and Ritesh Sidhwani's banner Excel Entertainment. And as PeepingMoon.com was the first to inform you about this development, we now hear that the film, yet untitled, will star a new face opposite Aadar.

As per reports of a leading daily, the film will be a VFX heavy one and shall star a newcomer, who is yet to be finalised. PeepingMoon.com has exclusively informed its readers that the film will belong to the comedy genre and shall see Aadar in a different avatar. The untitled film, as per our sources, will be directed by actress Tejaswini Kolhapure's husband Pankaj Saraswat, who has a vivid experience of directing comedy shows like The Great Indian Laughter Challenge and Gangs of Haseepur.

With Aadar being re-launched by the banner that has given Bollywood strong actors like Mouni Roy and Siddhant Chaturvedi through Gold and Gully Boy respectively, all we can hope it the actor shines brightly in his second innings and we get yet another gem from the mines of the Kapoor family. Speaking of Qaidi Band, the film starred Anya Singh with Aadar, who is missing in action after its failure. It was directed by Habib Faisal and produced by Yash Raj Films.
