Sara Ali Khan also in the race to star opposite Varun Dhawan in ABCD 3

When Remo D’souza announced his next dance film featuring Varun Dhawan and Katrina Kaif in lead roles, fans were really excited to see the fresh pairing on celluloid for the very first time. However, as time went by, the project faced several issues and is yet to kick-off.

The team experienced another jolt very recently when Katrina Kaif decided to walk out of the project because her dates were clashing with Salman Khan’s mega-budgeted Bharat which is completing the last leg of its shooting.


After Katrina bowed out of the movie, which is rumoured to be the next instalment of the ABCD film franchise, it came to light that the makers finalized Shraddha Kapoor for the female lead. However, if fresh reports are to be believed, the makers are yet to lock an actress and the hunt for the lead actress is still on.

We hear that the makers have shortlisted a few actresses to pair up with Varun Dhawan in the film which is being touted as the biggest dance film ever made in Indian cinema. Apart from Jacqueline Fernandez, Kriti Sanon and Shraddha Kapoor, newcomer Sara Ali Khan is also being considered for the role.

An official announcement regarding the final cast is awaited. Meanwhile, the film is set to start rolling in February, 2019. It is being produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series Films.
