Tara Sutaria bids goodbye to a film with Shahid Kapoor

Set to enter showbiz with Dharma Productions’ highly awaited college-romance-drama Student Of The Year 2, newcomer Tara Sutaria has decided to bow out of her second Bollywood movie, which features superstar Shahid Kapoor as the male lead.

The untitled film is a remake of superhit Telugu film, Arjun Reddy (2017). The actress had been confirmed for the project after an extensive hunt and her decision to quit it right before the makers were set to roll the camera has surprised one and all.


However, there are some reports which claim that Tara Sutaria was forced to bid adieu to the project as her debut vehicle SOTY 2 has been shifted to May 10, 2019, from November 23, 2018 release date.

The makers of the Arjun Reddy remake are now looking at casting another actress for the movie within a couple of days. “Yes, it is true Tara is not a part of our film anymore. Our shoot is on schedule and we should be locking our leading lady in the next couple of days,” said producer Murad Khetani.

To be helmed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who also directed the 2017 Telugu original, the project is set to roll very soon.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
