According to reports, Hrithik has also been denying any report of being approached for the same, the fact actually remains that a two-hero film didn’t attract the actor and he turned down the offer.

The film will apparently be about Mumbai rappers, said a report.

“And now a source close to Zoya tells that the director is looking to rope in Fawad for the role. “She loved Fawad in Kapoor & Sons and decided to work with him right after watching the film.”

 

However, she never had him in mind while writing this film. When Hrithik said no, she was in need for a dashing hero who could also act well. Fawad totally fit the bill,” the source says.

 

The source adds, “Zoya has briefed Fawad about the basic premise of the film and the two will meet soon and take their discussion forward.”
