On Wednesday, rumours flew thick and fast that differences had cropped up between Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor. There were reports of the two going their separate ways and Arora being âheartbroken' and not âstepping out of the house'. As news about their split went viral, Kapoor cleared the air in an Instagram post. "Ain't no place for shady rumours. Stay safe. Stay blessed. Wish well for people. Love you all," wrote the actor. After Kapoor tested positive for COVID-19 on New Year's Eve, the actor has been in quarantine. Last week, Arora was also unwell and skipped the finale of India's Best Dancer 2. As the couple was not spotted together after their Maldives vacation in December, people thought things had gone wrong between them.
Bhumi Pednekar has been cast opposite Arjun Kapoor in The Lady Killer. The film, announced last October, chronicles the story of a playboy who falls in love with a self-destructive woman.

The film will be helmed by Ajay Bahl, who earlier directed Section 375 (2019) and BA Pass (2012). Bahl added that the team zeroed in on Kapoor and Pednekar as the film is a "rollercoaster of emotions" and they needed actors who could "ride it every step of the way."
