Mohit Suri to direct adaptation of Chetan Bhagat’s book Half Girlfriend
Mohit Suri and Chetan Bhagat
Once upon a time, there was a Bihari boy called Madhav. He fell in love with a girl called Riya. Madhav didn't speak English, Riya did. Madhav wanted a relationship, Riya didn't. Riya wanted friendship, Madhav didn't. Riya suggested a compromise. She agreed to be his half girlfriend.
Chetan Bhagat's next is an emotional love story about Madhav, the Bihari boy, who falls in a love with the upper class English speaking, high society girl, Riya. While Madhav wants a relationship, Riya is not sure so she makes a compromise and agrees to become his half girlfriend.
While Kai Po Che was about religion and 2 States about communities, Half Girlfriend is about how English has become the new class system. We have exclusively learnt that Mohit Suri will be directing this film that is set in Bihar, Delhi and New York.

Confirming this to us, Chetan said, "Mohit and I have been in touch for many years. This is a super passionate love story. He read the manuscript and was so moved that he decided to partner with me and direct this film." Mohit too confirmed the same to us and said, "I liked it because of the simplicity and the identifiability with the story. The girl's character is that of a musician in the film. It's not a love story for perfect people, but it's about how normal people fall in love and how we hurt people whom we love the most. The story is so simple and yet I found myself crying in two places."
The love story is about a young couple and will therefore require a young cast. Mohit will be shooting this film next year after Humari Adhuri Kahani and the remake of Intouchables.
