Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday are gearing up for a film together and it seems Karan Johar isn't just mentoring the duo but also trying to play Cupid!

Vijay Devrekonda and Ananya Panday
Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday get along like a house on fire. The duo, which is shooting for Puri Jagannadh's multi-lingual, gelled well from day one on the set. There is talk that the Arjun Reddy (2017) star and Panday's chemistry on screen is smoldering. They have been already called the new Jodi in town, so it won't be long before there is a whiff of romance.
Recently, they were shooting for some lovey-dovey scenes at Madh Island. The two have a common connection—Karan Johar. Both are being mentored by him. The filmmaker is known to hook up his protégés. Whether as publicity for a film or otherwise, love does not need a reason for him. Not for nothing is he known as B-Town's matchmaker.
