Now, Shashank is set to direct a ‘maha entertainer with a dash of crazy’ titled Mr Lele, starring Varun Dhawan. The film will be produced by Karan Johar under his banner Dharma Productions.
Before unveiling the poster of Mr Lele, Karan teased the news with an Instagram post and wrote, “They have been a crazy team! Their dulhania franchise has met with abundant love! But their craziness hasn’t been explored! Well not till now !!!” The caption added, “Two close friends will come together for a maha entertainer with a dash of crazy!”
The poster of Mr Lele featured Varun Dhawan wearing nothing but his underwear and a fanny pack. In an earlier interview, the actor said that after reading the script, he called the director “109 times in two days”.
