The cast of Half Girlfriend has been confirmed  

Sushant Singh Rajput and Kriti Sanon were the original choices, but Arjun Kapoor and Shradha Kapoor have been confirmed for the Ekta Kapoor-produced Half Girlfriend, directed by Mohit Suri.

According to news reports, "Although Arjun Kapoor is not from Bihar, like the hero of Chetan Bhagat's novel is, he and Shradha Kapoor make the ideal protagonists. Arjun's street-smart looks go well with the character of Madhav Jha."

Apparently, it has been wrongly reported that Arjun will speak Bhojpuri in the film. His character Madhav is a Maithil Brahmin. The actor will reportedly speak in Bihari Hindi and will learn more about it after he finishes promoting his new film Ki And Ka.
