Arjun said he is preparing for his character and will start shooting for the film soon.
"I've committed to doing 'Half Girlfriend'. I am prepping for it for the next two and a half months and then start it," Arjun said in an interview.
"Half Girlfriend" is a love story of a Bihari boy and an upper society girl. Based on the backdrop of how English defines a class system, it talks about Madhav, who wants a relationship with the high society, urban and English speaking Riya, but the girl is not interested in commitment. Hence she becomes his half girlfriend.
The movie is expected to go on floors this year and will be shot in varied locations from Bihar, Delhi to New York.
Meanwhile, Arjun is excited as he is set to make his TV debut as the host of the new season of "Khatron Ke Khiladi".
"I was very excited when they offered me the show. I did ask them why me.. They said it's a fact that I am young enough to evolve into any format they need me to be. It was very exciting for me that they thought I was mouldable."
The actor, however, said his biggest fear was if he could host a show successfully as it is a big challenge.
"My biggest fear was will I able to host... I used to fear if I can interact (as a host) but even that isn't there anymore. Hosting is a challenging thing because you have to be yourself. When you are doing a film you masquerade as a character. As a host I am just Arjun Kapoor while staying honest and entertaining at the same time."
The reality game show, based on Americas "Fear Factor", was previously hosted by Akshay Kumar, Priyanka Chopra and Rohit Shetty.

So, Soha and her husband Kunal Kemmu had their own plans. At the event, however, Siddharth did remember her and fun memories of the shoot.

The film was released online for free by its producer Dale Wheatley.
"Although the film remains banned in the US and Canada," Wheatley wrote in a statement on the film's site, "as a writer and producer I am making the film available under my copyright for the sole purpose of promoting my work as an independent filmmaker."

In some images obtained by radaronline.com, Beyonce was seen dressed in a flowing gown, but what prompted her fans' curiosity was her bulky hoodie which she wore atop the dress. It appeared that she tried to cover her bump with the jacket.
"It was pretty indicative she was covering up instead of wearing a skin-baring outfit", a source told the site.
The source added: "She had a dress on, but this really big black hoodie covering up. That was the outfit she used for the whole shoot. She definitely had a little belly pouch."
During the filming of the video, Beyonce was also photographed touching her stomach.
Moreover, she used a stunt double for a scene that required her to jump off the top of the skyscraper, something which many believe was a safety measure since she's now with a baby.
"Although she didn't announce it or anything, it was pretty apparent from the way she was acting", the source claimed, adding that she was probably close to "five months pregnant".
Additionally, the source said: "She was complaining about being really tired and nauseous," which most women often experience during pregnancy.
The street-racing movie will be released in North America on April 14, 2017.
