Chetan Bhagat, who has been constantly tracking Arjun Kapoor’s preparation for his next, Half Girlfriend, a Mohit Suri film based on Bhagat’s book by the same name, is also wrapping up his next novel. The 42-year-old author claims the new book will be from a female perspective.
Slated for a Diwali release, the book will be “female first person”.
After seven bestsellers, this will be Bhagat’s first book from a female point of view. The 2 States novelist, who now-a-days is seen posting snaps from the Half Girlfriend set, also tweeted that being on film-set from start to finish has increased his respect for the filmmakers.
He also said filmmaking requires more “hard work” than writing a book. Directed by Mohit Suri, Half Girlfriend stars Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor. The film is currently under production.
The Mohit Suri-directed movie, based on Bhagat’s novel with the same title, stars Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead.
