Shraddha Kapoor, who won the hearts of millions by her splendid performance in 2013's Aashiqui 2, has signed on to play the role of the main lead in Mohit Suri's upcoming romantic drama film, Half Girlfriend.

Half Girlfriend is based on the novel of the same name by famous Indian YA author, Chetan Bhagat. The novel is set in rural Bihar, New Delhi, Patna and New York, and is the story of a boy from rural Bihar, Madhav Jha, and his quest of winning over the ultra modern girl, Riya Somani, from his college whom he loves.

After delivering back-to-back blockbusters like Murder 2, Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villian, Suri has geared up to work on Half Girlfriend, which is being produced by Ekta Kapoor and the author himself. According to Free Press Journal, the movie is said to revolve around the many facets of modern relationships and how all the equations of love and career chances over time.

Confirming the news, Bollywood Life reported that this would be Kapoor's third film with Suri as she has earlier worked with him Ek Villain and Aashiqui 2. It will also be the second film of her career which is adapted from a novel after her previous film with Shahid Kapoor's Haider. 

Director Suri has been constantly tweeting about the updates on Half Girlfriend. The climax of the story is set in New York during the Christmas time so the director flew to NYC to shoot during Christmas.
