Mumbai, March 1 (TIWN / IANS) Actor Kartik Aaryan has collaborated with one of his "favourite" filmmakers Imtiaz Ali for the sequel to "Love Aaj Kal".

"Love Aaj Kal", which released 10 years ago, starred Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone.

Talking about Imtiaz, Kartik said in a statement: "He is one of my favourite filmmakers and I have always wanted to work with him. I am glad it's finally happening."

The movie will also reportedly star actor Randeep Hooda and Saif's daughter and actress Sara Ali Khan, who had once said that she wanted to date Kartik.

"Unlike Imtiaz's previous two films -- 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' and 'Tamasha' -- which were set in foreign locales, this one will be shot in Punjab and Delhi," said a source.

The shooting is expected to start in Delhi next week.

The film will be produced by Dinesh Vijan and Imtiaz.

This project will bring together Dinesh of Maddock films and Kartik after "Luka Chuppi" that released on Friday.
