“When I heard the narration of the Indian adaptation of The Fault In Our Stars, especially how music is so beautifully woven into the narrative, I got quite excited. I am looking forward to creating music for this heart-warming venture,” Rahman said.
The film will mark the directorial debut of casting director Mukesh Chhabra and it is reported that Sushant Singh Rajput is set to play the lead role, which was portrayed by Ansel Elgort in the original.
