Here's the motion poster of
Half Girlfriend:
Last week, in the first poster of the film, we saw Arjun and Shradhha romancing in the rain.
Half Girlfriend went on floors in March 2016. It has been shot in New York City, Cape Town, and Delhi. The film is scheduled to release on May 19.
In an interview to
DNA, Mohit Suri revealed that he changed the story of the novel for his film. The director said that changes have been made in the character and backstory of Shraddha's character. "While Riya has some dark family secrets, they are not related to sexual abuse. I have moved out of that dark, sexual zone completely. I wanted it to be more of a love story and to deal with contemporary social issues relatable to women,"
DNA quoted Mohit Suri as saying.
