Varun Dhawan was all set to collaborate with Shashank Khaitan for the third time after Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya (2014) and Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya (2017) for Mr. Lele. Produced by Karan Johar, Mr.Lele was reportedly to go on floors in the first week of March and Shashank was scheduled to go on a recce in the city later this month and the team was supposed to shoot at real locations for the film. But this morning, a leading daily reported that the film has been put on hold due to date issues.
A source revealed, "It was getting increasingly impossible to get combination dates of the two actors. In the next few weeks, Varun will get busy with Sriram Raghavan's biopic on Arun Khetrapal. On her part, Janhvi will kick off promotions for Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl later this month, followed by a long schedule of Karan Johar's period drama, Takht. The two actors had gone to Khaitan's residence last week to find a way out, but the conversation came to naught. The film could be revived at a later point, but it has been called off for the time being."
Now, Shashank has himself put a note on Instagram and revealed that Mr. Lele indeed has been put on hold for now.
As per reports, Janhvi Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar were joining Varun in this maha entertainer. The story, if the buzz was to be believed, was to revolve around the three protagonists who are in a mysterious incident.
