Arjun Kapoor, the son of filmmaker Boney Kapoor, will make his film debut in a Yash Raj Films production.
Arjun has worked on several of his father’s projects and as assistant director to Nikhil Advani in Kal Ho Na Ho but this will be his first outing in front of the camera.
A spokesperson from Yash Raj Films confirmed the news, saying: "Yes... Arjun Kapoor has been signed up for a film with YRF."
