Mohit Suri's 'Half Girlfriend', an adaption of the novel by the same name by Chetan Bhagat, starring Arjun Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead roles, this Mohit Suri directorial is one of the most-awaited films of the year.

It had been reported that the filmmaker would stretch his creative liberties with the story and characters of the film and in doing so, Suri has reportedly gone on to cut Bhagat himself out of his own story.

Latest reports suggest that Bhagat, who played a key role in the film as the narrator, had his part cut out. Suri confirmed the news to the media saying that he cut Bhagat’s role in the film, but insisted that the bestselling author was supportive enough to give him a free hand in directing and scripting the film, reports Times of India.

The movie revolves around Madhav and Riya’s close friendship that blossom over their love for basketball. The film is slated to release on 19th May.
