It is exclusively learnt that Shraddha Kapoor is confirmed to play the female lead in the Kartik Aaryan and Kabir Khan’s upcoming flick, Chandu Champion. A source close to the development has confirmed that Shraddha has signed the film. Earlier, a source had told us, “Sajid Nadiadwala and Kabir Khan are scouting for a leading lady, and they are keen on Shraddha Kapoor playing the role. The actress is excited about the project too. As of now, she is the lead in the race. Currently, Sajid and Shraddha are in talks and working out the modalities.” Interestingly, the upcoming film will be Kartik and Shraddha’s first on-screen collaboration. The duo recently shared the screen space for Luv Ranjan’s Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, where Kartik played a cameo. Besides Chandu Champion, Shraddha has a bunch of projects in her kitty including Stree 2. Coming back to Chandu Champion, the film is slated to release on June 14, 2024. It will be a sports biopic on Murlikant Petkar.
