Maneesh, Aditya Chopra’s protege, has a romcom in mind and according to reports, Maneesh’s alleged ex-girlfriend, Parineeti Chopra has been approached for the lead role.

Says a source, “Adi has liked the script and has told Maneesh to start the casting. In house YRF actress Parineeti Chopra has been approached. While it was rumoured that Maneesh and the actress were dating and now have broken up, the two have always maintained that they are friends and never admitted to being in a relationship. If Parineeti agrees to do the film, it will be interesting to see how the estranged couple will do a film together.”

The film will start rolling next year, sometime in the middle of 2017.

Meanwhile, the makers are now on a hunt for the male lead.
