Leaked: Fawad and Anushka to play Karachiites in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil

Karan Johar should really up the secrecy surrounding the script of Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, his directorial comeback film.

According to Deccan Chronicle, a source close to the film's production has confirmed that Fawad and Anushka are lovers in the film and elaborates on their love story thus:

“Anushka and Fawad are from Karachi, who meet each other in a foreign country. Fawad is a DJ while Anushka comes from a nawabi family."

Then comes this familiar twist in the tale:

"The two fall in love abroad but once they come back to Karachi and Fawad approaches Anushka’s family to ask for her hand, he is ridiculed for belonging to a lower class… a bhand (jester or entertainer) by profession, and sent away… A dejected Anushka leaves her home too”.

“You will have to watch the film to see whether they are united," added the source.

We wouldn't know it from Fawad's swoon-worthy appearance at the Grazia Young Fashion Awards, but he was recently shooting in Rajasthan with Anushka and Ranbir Kapoor for a Holi sequence and song.

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil comes out on December 25.
