Shraddha Kapoor to pair opposite Sushant Singh Rajput

Grapevine has it that diva Shraddha Kapoor might romance Bollywood heartthrob Sushant Singh Rajput in an upcoming untitled film. Though nothing has been confirmed officially, insiders reveal that the makers have approached the actress to play the female lead in the movie and that she might sign the project on the dotted line soon.

To be helmed by Dangal fame filmmaker Nitesh Tiwari, the film will be financed by well-known filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala under his production banner, Nadiadwala Grandson. It will mark their first association with each other.

Interestingly, Rajput and Kapoor were also being considered for a space odyssey film called Chanda Mama Door Ke. But as things stand today, the project has been shelved, as per reports. "Shraddha and Sushant were supposed to act together in Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan’s film Chanda Mama Door Ke in which she was to play an astronaut. However, that film is on the back-burner now," reveals a well-placed source.

Meanwhile, Shraddha will next be seen in Batti Gul Meter Chalu, Stree and Saaho. Sushant, on the other hand, is awaiting the release of Drive, Kedarnath and Sonchiriya. He is also doing Mukesh Chhabra's directorial debut.
