Heartthrob Fawad Khan and Katrina Kaif have come on board to star in writer-lyricist Aditya Dhar's directorial debut. It's a Karan Johar and Fox Star Studio's next production and will be a love story set in North India and unravels amidst a big fat Punjabi wedding, a source revealed to a tabloid.

“The shoot is expected to kick off in Delhi sometime in November. Fawad is set to welcome his second child in October in Pakistan and will be by wife Sadaf's side till the baby is born. The film will roll once he's back in India and ready to resume shoot,” adds the source. The plot revolves around the lead pair's quirky, Punjabi families and will showcase the grandeur of the North Indian culture and revelry. “Once done with the Delhi schedule, the team will move abroad. The locations are yet to be finalised and will be decided once Karan Johar returns from the US where he is currently on a concert tour,” the source further added.

Director Aditya is tight-lipped about the development citing that he doesn't have the authority to reveal anything about the project. However, he didn't deny the project. Also, buzz is that composer Amaal Mallik who has worked Dharma Productions' projects in the recent past. The production team is looking at a 2017 release, by trying to wrap up the film by January.
