Arjun Kapoor's double whammy in YRF's next

After his super-scintillating Bollywood debut in 'Ishaqzaade', star kid Arjun Kapoor has bagged a double role in Yash Raj Film's next 'Aurangzeb'.

It was Arjun's power-packed performance as the rustic Parma that tipped the odds in his favour, claimed producer Aditya Chopra.

The movie will be directed by Atul Sabharwal, who has written and directed the first-of-its-kind crime series 'Powder' for YRF.

There is no doubt about Arjun's potential to be a future star. He has been applauded for his performance in his debut all around. His YRF project would be a larger than life opportunity for a youngster like him.

As for Arjun's leading lady in the movie, there is no word yet from the YRF camp. Guess they like the media on their toes.

'Aurangzeb' will go on floor this August, and is scheduled for an early 2013 release.

Contrary to what the rumour mills have been churning out, Arjun will not be featuring in his dad's next romantic project or in Pradeep Sarkar's next, opposite his first leading lady Parineeti Chopra.
