After roping in Masaan fame actor Vicky Kaushal to play the male lead in his next film, Dharma Productions' head honcho Karan Johar has now signed Kiara Advani for the female part.
Kaira rose to instant fame after playing the role of Sakshi Dhoni in the film MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, a biopic on one of India's most successful cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
Apart from Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani, Karan Johar's close friend Neha Dhupia will also essay an important role in the movie.
For the uninitiated, Karan's next is going to be a collection of four short stories and the filmmaker will helm one of them. The anthology film and a sequel to the 2013 film Bombay Talkies.
Zoya Akhtar, Anurag Kashyap and Dibakar Banerjee will helm three other stories in the sequel. Each story will have a runtime of approximately 30 minutes long.
Unlike Bombay Talkies, the part which Karan will direct is going to be full of comedy. This will be the first time Vicky and Karan will try their hand at comedy.
