NEW DELHI: 'Half Girlfriend', an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel with the same name is escalating fans' excitement with every passing day. The author took to Twitter to share few stills from the movie a day before the trailer release.

One of the pictures have Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor sharing a passionate kiss. While Arjun is on scooty , Shraddha is having a guitar on her back. Other photographs show the actress as a basket ball player.

Earlier, filmmakers also released a video of Arjun asking, "Ee half girlfriend hota kya hai?". Critics were not happy with the actor's accent who is playing Madhav Jha, a boy from Bihar who falls in love with Riya Somani (Shraddha Kapoor), a Delhiite. It looked like Arjun was struggling with the dialect.
