Student of the Year 2 fame Aditya Seal has been signed to romance Kiara Advani in Indoo Ki Jawani. The film is being backed by Nikkhil Advani, along with Madhu Bhojwani, Niranjan Iyengar and Ryan Stephen. It marks the Hindi directorial debut of Bengali writer-filmmaker Abir Sengupta. Filming will begin in September this year.

The film is a coming-of-age comedy, which is a modern love-story based on dating apps. Confirming the news, Aditya says, “Yes, I am a part of this comedy of errors. I have to master a separate lingo for the film. Why? That will be revealed in the film,” he says mysteriously.

The actor who came on board after just one meeting with the director, reveals that this character is not a typical hero or the charmer of SOTY 2. “He’s very real and people will connect with him immediately,” says Aditya who starts prep and reading sessions soon. Aditya also shares that he went on Tinder once just because he was curious. “But all that swiping left, swiping right and matching with a person freaked me out and I deleted the app in three days. I’ve chatted on Facebook Messenger, but Tinder and Hinge is too much for me. I felt like a bait of fresh meat,” he ends on a laugh.

Kiara welcomed Aditya in the film and informed the same on her social media handle, saying she is excited to have him on the “crazy journey”. “Welcome on board Aditya Seal. Indoo Ki Jawani family is excited to have you join the crazy journey!” Kiara tweeted.
