In what is definitely a casting coup of sorts, Emraan Hashmi and Kareena Kapoor have been signed together for the first time for a romantic drama to be produced by Ekta Kapoor's Balaji and Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. The as yet untitled film will be directed by debutant Akshay Roy.

Confirming the same, Tanuj Garg (CEO of Balaji Motion Pictures) tweeted, "For those asking, the untitled Balaji-Dharma romantic drama is taking off in September. Starring Emraan Hashmi & Kareena."

This will be Emraan's second film with Dharma Productions after Ungli.
