Mr Lele on hold

Shashank Khaitan and Varun’s Dhawan’s third collaboration, Mr Lele, created quite a buzz amongst movie buffs. After releasing the first look of the movie in January, the film was supposed to go on floors from this month. However, it has now been put on the back-burner owing to date issues. Shashank took to Instagram to share a small note addressing the same. Announcing the indefinite postponing of the movie, the director also added that he would collaborate with Varun once again in Mr Lele or something new.

Reportedly, Shashank had begun working on the pre-production. However, Varun’s dates are not aligning. The makers have decided to make a new plan for the film at a later stage. Varun was supposed to be playing a Maharashtrian character for the first time in the movie. Varun had, in an earlier interaction, confessed that he was looking forward to exploring the comic-thriller genre with the film.
