Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani has zeroed in on Sonam Kapoor to play an actor from the 1980s and 1990s in Sanjay Dutt’s biopic, opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor are reuniting as an onscreen pair ten years after they made their acting debuts with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Saawariya'.

The romantic drama bombed at the box office and the two never worked together after the same. There was conjecture about how the two industry kids do not get along anymore. However, putting all rumors to rest, they are all set to share the screen space yet again.
