The source added "The duo share great on-screen chemistry. The female lead’s part is limited but pivotal, much like the women characters in Kabir Khan’s films. It will mostly be confined to flashbacks. However, it is important in addressing the coach’s intention and journey. Hence, Kabir is looking to cast a relatively fresh face who also shares good on-screen chemistry with Kartik. Talks are currently underway,"
