Katrina Kaif being considered to headline Kartik Aaryan’s film with Kabir Khan

Post Bhool Bhulaiyya 2, Satyaprem Ki Katha will feature the hit duo of Kiara Advani & Kartik Aaryan.

Reports are abuzz that Kartik is all set to move into an entirely new universe in Kabir Khan’s untitled project, which begins shooting around October.

A source close to the development reveals that Kabir’s film starring Kartik would cast him in a full-fledged action avatar.

“Kartik has so far not done an out-and-out actioner. Kabir and he have zeroed in on a terrific action-romance plot which is now in development,” says the source.

“They are on the look-out for a co-star who has not shared screen space with Kartik. So the Kriti Sanons and Kiara Advanis are definitely out. Kabir is a very close friend of Katrina who needs a hit badly. Her attempts to play the hero with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter in Phone Bhoot fell flat. She needs to get back in the race!
