According to reports, Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani have started shooting for Dharma Productions’ next Mr Lele. The film hit the shooting floor last week in Mumbai.
Shashank Khaitan, who has previously helmed such successful films as Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017), and Dhadak (2018) for Dharma Productions, is directing his fourth film under Karan Johar’s banner.
A source informs a publication, “Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal started shooting for the film last week in Mumbai. For now, they will be filming in the city and will then move to other locations depending on the Covid situation there.”
Mr Lele was originally planned with Bollywood star Varun Dhawan. Producer Karan Johar had even announced the project officially on Twitter by sharing the first-look poster featuring the actor. But later, the news emerged that Dhawan walked out of the film citing creative differences.
However, Shashank Khaitan had something else to say about the film getting shelved. “We were not able to form a flow for the shoot. It was a small film that was to be based in Mumbai, but things were not falling in place. I kept feeling that something is not right. Since Karan, Varun and I collectively felt it, we decided to hold off the project for the time being,” he had said.
He then took the film to Vicky Kaushal who readily agreed to come onboard. The film will reunite Kaushal with Kiara Advani after a gap of three years. The duo was last seen together sharing the screen space in Netflix’s anthology film Lust Stories.
Mr Lele also features Bhumi Pednekar in the lead role. The actress will reteam with Vicky Kaushal after Bhoot Part One: The Haunted Ship (2020), produced by Dharma Productions.

Snapped a pic with Anoushka Shankar, the sitar legend herself.
Got completely caught up in a close-up card magic trick.
Jetted in from other celebrations in New York and Delhi during a packed few weeks.
Priyanka Chopra was back in London for yet another Diwali shindig, this one thrown by Johnnie Walker and Rahul Mishra. Of course, there are already a ton of phone videos floating around. No surprises there. Anoushka Shankar was in the guest list too, and the photo they took together was iconic. Then there’s Rahul Mishra, obviously, and manager Anjula Acharia nearby. The whole place was done up with diyas and marigolds and looked festive and warm, not too staged. Felt like an actual party, not just another red carpet.
