Varun Dhawan and Shashank Khaitan reunite for upcoming Mr Lele; film will release on 1 January, 2021
Varun Dhawan and filmmaker Shashank Khaitan have reunited for a new film, Mr Lele, which will be produced by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Productions.

Varun Dhawan and filmmaker Shashank Khaitan have reunited for a new film, Mr Lele, which will be produced by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Productions. The first look of Varun from the film has been released.
Varun and Shashank, who previously worked on the Dulhania franchise, have come together for a quirky 'epic entertainer.' The first look of the actor sees him in a completely bewildered state, probably on a run, with a gun hanging from his hand.
While the full cast and plot are yet to be revealed, Mr Lele is slated to release on 1 January, 2021.

Earlier last week, Varun had announced the film during the song launch of his upcoming movie Street Dancer 3D, but refused to indulge in more details. “Yes, I’m working with Shashank on his next. But I can’t announce the rest of the casting details. I’ll let Karan Johar sir do that,” Varun told reporters.
The 32-year-old actor, who broke out with 2012’s Student of the Year, has since featured in many critically-acclaimed and commercially successful movies such as Main Tera Hero, Badlapur, Judwaa 2 and October, among others.
