Arjun Kapoor awaits Ki and Ka release to start shooting for Mohit Suri's Half Girlfriend

Actor Arjun Kapoor, who is currently preparing for the release of his upcoming romantic film Ki and Ka, says his next film Half Girlfriend -- an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's book with the same name-- is suffering no delay.

Media reports had speculated that the first schedule of Mohit Suri's directorial had been pushed back by nearly three months due to a date mismatch of Arjun and Shraddha Kapoor, who play the main leads.

However, Arjun, who is currently hosting the stunt-based reality TV show Khatron ke Khiladi - Kabhi Keeda Kabhi Peeda, cleared the air and said that he will begin shooting for Half Girlfriend in April.

"I'll begin Half Girlfriend once R. Balki sir's film (Ki and Ka) releases... That was always the intention. A lot of people are assuming that 'Half Girlfriend' is delayed. The film was never delayed," Arjun told IANS in Mumbai.

"You can only begin one film after another because promotion takes a month. So I start (shooting for) Half Girlfriend in April, and that's why it's too early to talk about the film," he added.

For now, he is loving how people are appreciating him as the host of Colors' Khatron Ke Khiladi; and is looking forward to the 1 April release of Ki and Ka, which also features Kareena Kapoor Khan.
