Bhumi Pednekar And Varun Dhawan To Play Lead In Shashank Khaitaan’s Next?

As much as we love the iconic pair of Bollywood, it always gets us excited when two stars are paired opposite each other for the first time and now it seems that the Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya director, Shashank Khaitan is all set to introduce us to a fresh pairing. If reports are to be believed then Bhumi Pednekar and Varun Dhawan can share the screen for the first time in his next film.

Talking about the same, a source close to the development revealed, “Shashank wanted a brilliant actor who can perform exceedingly well in his movie. He also wanted someone who has a hinterland connects and hence decided to offer the film to Bhumi. It's a commercial entertainer and Bhumi has also liked the whole concept of the film. But she's yet to sign on the dotted line. They plan to roll the film around the second half of 2020.”

“It's in the same space as a Dulhania franchise. It has the same setting and milieu and both Varun and Bhumi are perfect for the roles. It's yet another masala entertainer that will have the trademark Shashank Khaitan and Varun Dhawan stamp all over it,” the source further added.  If everything works out, then this will also be the first time that Bhumi will collaborate with Shashank.
