A source close to the development reveals, "The makers plan to roll the project around April-May. The final script is ready, and casting for supporting characters is underway."
Love Today, helmed by Pradeep Ranganathan, revolves around a couple who are compelled to swap their phones for a day at the behest of the girl's father. Ranganathan headlined the runaway hit with Ivana. The material will naturally be tweaked according to the Hindi-speaking audience's taste. Sneha Desai, one of the writers on Kiran Rao's much-loved Laapataa Ladies, has reportedly penned the remake with another writer. The source adds, "The film will be shot primarily in Delhi."
