MUMBAI: UTV has sold the distribution rights of Karan Johar‘s I Hate Luv Storys to Mukta Arts for the territories of Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.

Says Mukta Arts CEO Ravi Gupta, "Since we are strong on the distribution front in places like Delhi, UP and Punjab, we were more inclined to get the distribution rights of the film in these areas."

I Hate Luv Storys, starring Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor, is a romantic comedy produced by Dharma Productions and UTV Motion Pictures and is directed by debutante Punit Malhotra.

The film is scheduled to release on 2 July
