Jabariya Jodi: Sidharth Malhotra, Parineeti Chopra start shooting for Ekta Kapoor's romantic comedy

After Hasee Toh Phasee, Sidharth Malhotra and Parineeti Chopra will be seen together in Ekta Kapoor’s  Jabariya Jodi . The actors started shooting for the upcoming romantic comedy on 10 August. Balaji Motion Pictures tweeted the official announcement along with a photo of a clapperboard.

The makers also released a motion poster.

The film, previously titled Shotgun Shaadi , will revolve around the custom of groom kidnapping prevalent in Bihar, where the grooms are forced to get married on gunpoint to avoid dowry. Malhotra will reportedly play a thug who helps kidnap the grooms. Both actors are undergoing voice and diction training to perfectly get the regional accent right for the film. Malhotra will be seen next in a biopic on Kargil war hero Captain Vikram Batra while Chopra’s upcoming projects include Kesari with Akshay Kumar, Sandeep Aur Pinky Faraar , and Namastey England alongside Arjun Kapoor. While the makers have not announced an official release date, the Prashant Singh directorial will hit cinemas in 2019.
