Randeep Hooda approached for Love Aaj Kal sequel

Buzz has it that Randeep Hooda, who was last seen in Baaghi 2 (2018), is set to reunite with filmmaker Imtiaz Ali after their critically acclaimed movie Highway, which clocks five years in 2019.

According to reports, Hooda has been approached to play an important role in the filmmaker’s next directorial venture, which is rumoured to be a sequel to the latter’s 2008 blockbuster Love Aaj Kal.


“Modalities are fast being worked out. Randeep is a perfect fit for the part. His character offers a clearer and experienced perspective on love to the lead pair,” a well-placed source informs an Indian daily.

Talking about the lead pair, the makers are yet to announce the cast of the film. However, if sources are to be believed, Kartik Aaryan and Sara Ali Khan have been locked to romance on silver screen.

The character that Hooda has been reportedly offered to play will be similar to that of Rishi Kapoor’s in the original movie.

An official announcement is awaited.

Meanwhile, Randeep Hooda is presently shooting for an American film called Dhaka. Besides him, it also stars Chris Hemsworth, David Harbour and Manoj Bajpayee.
