Actor Arjun Kapoor, who is currently preparing for the release of his upcoming romantic film Ki and Ka, says his next film Half Girlfriend — an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s eponymous book — is suffering no delay.

Media reports had speculated that the first schedule of Mohit Suri’s directorial had been pushed back by nearly three months due to a date mismatch of Kapoor and actress Shraddha Kapoor, who play the main leads.

However, Kapoor, who is currently hosting the stunt-based reality TV show Khatron ke Khiladi — Kabhi Keeda Kabhi Peeda, cleared the air and said that he will begin shooting for Half Girlfriend in April.

“I’ll begin Half Girlfriend once R. Balki sir’s film [Ki and Ka] releases... That was always the intention. A lot of people are assuming that Half Girlfriend is delayed. The film was never delayed,” Arjun told IANS here.

“You can only begin one film after another because promotion takes a month. So I start [shooting for] Half Girlfriend in April, and that’s why it’s too early to talk about the film,” he added.

For now, he is loving how people are appreciating him as the host of Colors’ Khatron Ke Khiladi; and is looking forward to the April 1 India release of Ki and Ka, which also stars actress Kareena Kapoor Khan.
