Know why Aditya Roy Kapur didn't read 'Great Expectations' for 'Fitoor'

New Delhi: Young and talented actor Aditya Roy Kapoor will be next seen on the big screens opposite Katrina Kaif in 'Fitoor'.

The actor quipped how he didn't read Charles Dickens 'Great Expectations' before preparing for the film, as it is based on the same novel.  

"Abhishek wanted me to play Noor according to his vision of the character and did not want me to read any book or watch any film before the release of our film," Aditya said in a statement.

Abhishek wanted to pass on his vision of Noor to Aditya so that the 'Aashiqui 2' actor could deliver the director`s version of the character rather than the one from the book.

Co-produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and Abhishek Kapoor, 'Fitoor' is all set to release on February 12. It also stars Katrina Kaif and Tabu.
