Mumbai: It has been reported since the past couple of years that Karan Johar will be remaking the popular Hollywood film 'Fault in Our Stars' in Hindi.

 While some speculated that Deepika and Varun will bag the lead roles, some even questioned the fate of this ambitious project.

But things are finally going to materialize. A daily has reported that the production house has not only revived the project but has also approached lover boy Aditya Roy Kapur and self-proclaimed ‘pataka’ Alia Bhatt to play the much-in-love leads.

A source close to the development was reported as saying, “Alia was always the first choice for the film. In fact, the project had been planned with her in mind. Now, impressed with Aditya's performance in ‘OK Jaanu’, the production house has approached him for the male lead. If everything goes as planned, the film should take off around June July 2017.”

An adaption of John Greene’s novel by the same name, the Hollywood flick revolves around the love story between a cancer patient Hazel Grace Lancaster (played by Shailene Woodley) and Augustus Waters (played by Ansel Elgort) that blossomed at a support group the former had joined.
