With Anushka moving towards Boney and Mona Kapoor's son Arjun, the drift was inevitable. In fact, after Mumbai Mirror reported on August 26, how Arjun and Anushka were caught in a city multiplex enjoying each other's company, the young couple have been spotted painting the town red time and again.
Now, Yash Raj Films has decided to cash in on their off-screen chemistry. The production house has decided to launch a film with Arjun and Anushka in the lead roles to be directed by Do Dooni Chaar director Habib Faisal.
A source revealed, "YRF has decided to make a romantic film with Arjun and Anushka in the lead. In fact, the two young actors were recently spotted at a fine dining restaurant in Andheri discussing the film with YRF scion Aditya Chopra."
While rumours about romantic liaisons between co-stars often help in raking in the monies for the film, real life couples fail to generate the same chemistry on screen. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor for example failed to please the critics post Tashan.
"Real life couples have often failed to translate their off screen chemistry on screen. John and Bipasha sizzled in Jism. And then it was Kareena and Shahid who delivered the hit Jab We Met. But it happens rarely. Even Kareena and Saif failed to deliver in Tashan," said another source.
But Arjun and Anushka seem to share an extremely special chemistry for it not to show on screen. A source close to Arjun revealed, "Arjun is extremely close to Anushka. They care for each other a lot. Their friendship is very new but yet they look like they are extremely comfortable with each other."
"Anushka aqnd Arjun have been frequenting a multiplex in Juhu lately. Also they were spotted at many nightspots in the city. In fact, Arjun was one of the reasons of Anushka-Ranveer split," added the source.
