'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui': Abhishek Kapoor reveals why he picked Ayushmann Khurrana, Vaani Kapoor for the roles

Filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor has spilled new details about his upcoming project 'Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui', starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Vaani Kapoor in the lead roles. The director gave a hint about why he picked the two actors for their roles.

For the uninformed, Ayushmann portrays the role of a cross-functional athlete in the film. He had recently shared a photo on Instagram flaunting a completely new muscular avatar - his well-built biceps.

Now, Abhishek has cleared that the character is based in Chandigarh (as the title suggests) and that it was Ayushmann's idea indeed.

Sharing a photo of Ayushmann seated on a chair in t-shirt and pants, Abhishek wrote alongside the photo, "It was @ayushmannk's idea to set the story in HIS city and what a beautiful city it is.. cant thank him enough."

Meanwhile, sharing a quote by Lisa See, Abhishek revealed why he picked Vaani for the project. Kapoor shared a picture of Vaani with her hair tied in a bun and fringes falling out.

"While she is lovely, we need to remember that her face is not what distinguishes her. Her beauty is a reflection of the virtue and talent she keeps inside" - Lisa See," he wrote alongside the photo.

The director then revealed that she chose Vaani in the role of 'Maanvi' because of the 'courage', 'sensitivity' and 'fragility'. "The #beautiful @_vaanikapoor_ is the only one who has the courage, sensitivity and fragility to be my #maanvi," he penned.
