For the past few days, many speculations are doing rounds that Puri Jagganadh approached Kiara Advani for his film Fighter. But, nothing has been confirmed.
However, the latest reports suggest that Puri recently met Janhvi Kapoor and narrated the story, to which she apparently gives her nod.
Initially, the makers planned to rope in Janhvi Kapoor but due to few reasons, Janhvi backed out from the project. But now Karan Johar entered into the scene to rope in Janhvi Kapoor for the film.
It is learned that as Fighter will be released in Hindi as well, the makers are keen to rope in Bollywood actress. If everything goes well, an official announcement will be made soon.
A source close to Puri revealed to us that the film’s regular shoot will commence in December but due to her commitments in B-Town, Janhvi may join the sets from mid-February.
It is learnt that the film’s shooting will progress at a jet speed and Fighter may release during summer 2020. The film will be jointly produced by Puri Jagannadh and his partner Charmee Kaur.
