Filmmaker Shashank Khaitan was set to direct Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor in the comedy film, Mr. Lele. The makers even released a poster of the film with a title featuring Dhawan, however, the movie was shelved last year around this time after Varun Dhawan reportedly expressed his displeasure over the script.

Now, Shashank Khaitan is reviving the project but not with Varun and Janhvi. According to a leading entertainment portal, Vicky Kaushal has been roped in to play the role which was supposed to be played by Dhawan. The film, which is no longer titled Mr. Lele, is said to have two leading actresses in Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pednekar.



While the official announcement is due, the movie with a new title went on floors last week with Vicky and Kiara while Bhumi, who recently completed the social comedy "Badhai Do" with Rajkummar Rao, will join them soon.

Khaitan's film will be Kaushal's first comedy movie and second film with Kiara Advani after the 2018 anthology "Lust Stories" with their segment being directed by Karan Johar. Meanwhile, Vicky will be seen in Vijay Krishna Acharya's next with Manushi Chhillar, in Shoojit Sircar's Sardar Udham, Aditya Dhar's The Immortal Ashwathama, and in the Sam Manekshaw biopic.

On the other hand, Kiara Advani has Jug Jugg Jeeyo, Shershaah and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 in the pipeline while Bhumi Pednekar has Badhaai Do coming up next. She has already starred with Vicky earlier in Bhoot – Part 1: The Haunted Ship.
