After a powerful performance in "Paan Singh Tomar", actor Irrfan is set to romance Aditi Rao Hydari in director Shivam Nair new romantic comedy.

The film is produced by Anjum Rizvi and set in Lucknow. The dialogues of the film will have an earthy rustic language with the local flavor.

Nair accept that though pairing is unusual, but will be the highlight of the film.

"We were looking for a young girl to play a street smart girl. Aditi suits the character perfectly. The pair would be one of the highlights of the film," he has been quoted as saying.

"Irrfan plays a member of Saraswati Brass band that goes for weddings in Lucknow and he keeps on checking and wooing girls attending the wedding. People will see him in a light role after a long gap. I always had Irrfan in mind even while writing the script," he stated further.

The film has not been titled yet but shooting will commence soon. Aditi was last seen in Anu Menon's "London Paris New York"; where she acted with Pakistani-actor singer Ali Zafar.
