It seems Virus Diwan has caught a serious virus and Arjun Kapoor may have to wait for his big break in Bollywood till it gets mended, that is, if it's repairable.
Apparently, it is because of the creative difference between the producers and the director of the film Bumpy, that Boney's son's launch pad scheduled for a December 30 release, has been shelved. The producers, Yash Raj Films, however, still believe that Arjun's career will kick start with this YRF project only.
But Arjun can still heave a sigh of relief. Apparently, Habib Faisal, who won a National Award for his remarkable film Do Dooni Chaar and also the writer for Band Baaja Baaraat, will launch Arjun in another film. Our source said, "Arjun was said to be the most talked about newcomer when YRF announced the film.
It was scheduled to release this year. However, now Arjun will have to wait a little longer to make his Bollywood debut. His film Virus Diwan has been shelved and now a new launch pad is being worked out for him. Aditya Chopra had a meeting with Habib Faisal who will direct a film for Adi, which will launch Arjun.
Bumpy will no longer direct Arjun's launch pad. The differences between Adi and Bumpy are yet unclear though."
Refuting the news, YRF spokesperson said, "Virus Diwan is very much on track. We are hunting for the lead girl and pre-production is on. The only thing that may happen is a shift in date to bypass rains for the shoot as its adding a 30% increment on cost that the film's budget cannot absorb.
There are additional projects in the pipeline for Arjun. They will be announced in addition to Virus Diwan, not instead of."
It's yet to be seen if this virus affects Arjun's enthusiasm for his launch, if not the market value.It seems Virus Diwan has caught a serious virus and Arjun Kapoor may have to wait for his big break in Bollywood till it gets mended, that is, if it's repairable.

First look - Boney Kapoor’s son Arjun Kapoor in and as ‘Virus Diwan’
Till now he was generally seen in parties and events, now be ready to watch this dashing young Kapoor lad in Yash Raj Film’s new youth films studio Y-Films production Virus Diwan. Boney Kapoor’ son Arjun Kapoor gears up for his Bollywood debut
As the name suggests the movie is about a techie who is quite a pro is hacking. So can we expect Boney Kapoor’s son to do an Ankit Fadia on big screen? With the tagline that reads ‘Enter. Infect. Escape’, the movie is a tech-based caper, a story of India’s youngest and most twisted hacker.
The Kapoor family is super excited about Arjun’s debut. His mother Mona Kapoor and sister Anshula are on seventh heaven. His cousin Rhea Kapoor congratulates him on Twitter and writes, “So happy for my brother arjun. A new journey begins”. Aunt Maheep Kapoor tweets - “My nephew Arjun kapoor ! So so happy for him :)”
From very young age Arjun has been a cinema lover and used to accompany his dad Boney Kapoor to studios. In order to get the hang of the creative side of filmmaking, he joined Karan Johar’s production as an assistant director to Nikhil Advani in Kal Ho Na Ho. Like his cousin Sonam Kapoor he too has worked hard to get a lean body. Arjun is quite close to Salman Khan and the star has also guided the young boy with fitness tips.

Yash Raj Films' new banner to launch seven actors in 3 movies
Yash Raj Films' new youth films studio - Y-Films - will launch seven new faces in three movies in 2011.
Keeping with its vision of being a platform for new talent, Y-Films also showcased the fresh crop of directors and stars of the three films.
Yash Raj Films vice chairman Aditya Chopra said, "The youngest country in the world. Housing the largest movie going audience in the world. Youth! Its a segment that's not just too big - but too important - to ignore. Y-Films continues YRF's trend of breaking new genres. With a laser-sharp focus on youth, we hope to create a brand of cinema that will capture the hearts & imaginations of this elusive bunch and rock their world. Here's to a new revolution - that begins with 2 fingers!"
As was earlier reported by Businessofcinema.com, Y-Films is headed by Ashish Patil, formerly head of MTV India. Patil adds, "Y-Films promise to deliver kick ass films of the youth, by the youth, for the youth. And be a platform for new talent – both on screen and behind the scenes – who will challenge, break and set new rules of story telling. Get ready to spread the Y-rus!"
The first movie under the new banner will be Luv ka The End, which is directed by Bumpy. It stars Shraddha Kapoor and introduces Taaha Shah. The movie has music by Ram Sampath and is slated for release on 6 May.
The second film is a rom-com against the backdrop of social networking is interestingly titled Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge. This will be a cheesy take off on one of YRF's earlier films - Mujhse Dosti Karoge starring Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukherji. It may be recalled that Businessofcinema.com was the first to report that this movie will be directed by Nupur Asthana. Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge will introduce four new faces namely Saqib Saleem, Saba Azad, Nishant Dahiya and Tara D'Souza. The movie will also mark the debut of Bollywood desi folk-rocker Raghu Dixit as composer.
The third film will be a tech-based caper, which is the story of India’s youngest and most twisted hacker titled Virus Diwan. With a tagline that reads "Enter. Infect. Escape," it will mark the debut

YRF launches new youth film studio Y-Films
Yash Raj Films Thursday launched a new youth film studio Y-Films, which would showcase a fresh crop of directors and stars.
"Y-Films promises to deliver kick ass films of the youth, by the youth, for the youth and be the platform for new talent, both on screen and behind the scenes, who will challenge, change, break and set new rules of story telling," Ashish Patil, head of Y-Films said at the launch.
Y-Films is ready with three films - " Luv Ka The End" and " Virus Diwan" directed by Bumpy and "Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge" directed by Nupur Asthana".
Y-Films would come up with unconventional marketing strategies to promote their films.
"There are very aggressive digital strategies where lots of digital partners would come to play to help us. That's a challenge to the marketing process that was happening in the past. There was a template. By design Y-Films would burn those templates. All the things that we are going to do around marketing films would be pretty fresh," said Patil.
Creatively it would be completely independent of Yash Raj Films, claimed Patil.
"The only thing that we are tapping into as far the mother ship Yash Raj Films is concerned is production and distribution. Creatively its a completely new world. That's what is wonderful working with Adi ( Aditya Chopra) and Yashji," said Patil.
The first film "Luv ka The End" is slated to release May 6.
