The rumours of the cast had been doing the rounds for sometime, but Karan, who is producing the film under his banner Dharma Productions, took to Twitter to finally confirm the details.

"A modern family film with a love triangle embedded in it...KAPOOR and SONS directed by @shakunbatra," he tweeted.

In another post, he added: "KAPOOR and SONS starring @S1dharthM @_fawadakhan_ @aliaa08 and @chintskap @KapoorAndSons @DharmaMovies."

Batra's directorial debut Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu was also produced by Karan, while Alia and Sidharth's debut film Student Of The Year was produced and directed by Karan too.
