Karan Singh Grover to star opposite Zarine Khan in Hate Story 3?

Karan Singh Grover's Bollywood debut Alone might have fizzed out at the box office but the actor has caught the eye of Hate Story makers and the buzz is that he is being considered for the sequel of the film.

According to a leading daily, the actor will beef up to play the role in Hate Story 3 which will be directed by Vishal Pandaya, who also helmed the second film in the franchise.

Karan will share the screen space with Sharman Joshi in the film. And, Zarine Khan who has been been missing from the silver screen for a very long time will play the leading lady.

A source was quoted as saying, "The previous two films also had two male leads. In the first film it was Nikhil Dwivedi and Gulshan Devaiah while the second featured Jay Bhanushali and Sushant Singh. This time, it's going to be Karan Singh Grover and Sharman Joshi with Zarine Khan as the solo leading lady."

Following the footsteps of the earlier two films, the third film in the franchise is also expected to be bold in content.

"The content is definitely much more risque this time and yes, the intimate scenes too will be a lot more revealing. So all the actors will need to shape up," the source added.
