Disney UTV today announced that its next production 'Fitoor' will star the fresh pair.
"As a filmmaker, I have always invested in new and emerging talent and with his talent and persona, Aditya Roy Kapur is right up there. I am delighted to have him on board," director Abhishek Kapoor said.
This is for the first time that Aditya is paired opposite an established actress like Katrina. His last film was with newbie Shraddha Kapoor in 'Aashiqui 2' which was a huge hit.
The film is a screen adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations and will see Aditya playing 'Pip' and Katrina as 'Estella'. The pivotal role of 'Miss Havisham' is currently being cast and an announcement on the same is expected in the coming weeks.
The film will go on the floors in the first half of 2014.
