Fawad Khan is all set to make a comeback in Bollywood after his last Karan Johar outing, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. There has been immense anticipation about his return to the Hindi film industry, and there were rumors that Vaani Kapoor would feature opposite him. However, Pinkvilla has learned that the rumors were true and Kapoor is indeed starring in the film with Khan. Interestingly, Jawaan actor Ridhi Dogra has also been locked in for this project.

A source associated closely with this project informed us that the paperwork has been completed. The romantic-comedy drama is still in its nascent stage and the makers are ensuring to keep everything under wraps, including the director's name.

Hamari baat ho jaati hai kabhi chat pe and on phone so I've been in touch and I have enjoyed a very good relationship with the Kapoor family and there is still a lot of love and respect even with Karan and Shakun so dostiyaan hai (friendship is there) and then there are some producers friends jiske saath gaap shap lagi rehti hai (there are some producers friends with whom I keep talking) and then we make plans of meeting somewhere so on and off we talk, we keep in touch and we're still very cordial and still very friendly and there's no love lost.” told the Barzakh fame.
