Hyderabad (Telangana): Actors Shahid Kapoor and Kriti Sanon will be seen together for the first time in an upcoming romantic comedy bankrolled by Dinesh Vijan. Starring Shahid and Kriti in the lead, the untitled film is said to be a robot rom-com.
For the first time, Shahid will be joining hands with Dinesh Vijan, the man behind films like Hindi Medium, Stree, Luka Chuppi and more. Another highlight of the upcoming film will be Shahid's pairing with Kriti who is Dinesh's frequent collaborator.
