Janhvi Kapoor was in talks for Shahid Kapoor's ambitious project, Arjun Reddy. But reports suggest that Tara Sutaria will be playing the role. If sources are to be believed, Karan Johar was the reason why Janhvi didn't do the film with Shahid.

Apparently, KJo doesn't want her to be associated with action, masala projects so early in her career. "He wants her to do glamorous roles, like the one in Dhadak.

He suggested Tara's name, who he thought was a better choice for Arjun Reddy," says a source.
