For last few months, actress Bhumi Pednekar was busy filming for the social drama 'Badhaai Do' alongside Rajkummar Rao. Now that the project is wrapped, she is prepping to begin the next one. She has been casted as the third lead in Vicky Kaushal and Kiara Advani starrer 'Mr Lele'. The film was originally supposed to have Varun Dhawan and Janhvi Kapoor as leads and Bhumi was considered as the third lead at that stage as well but the whole cast had to be scrapped since the things didn't work out.

A source told Pinkvilla, "It’s an exciting project bringing three young talents of Bollywood together. Bhumi has loved the way her character is written and hence, got back to the film yet again. Vicky too is looking forward to slip into the comic space with the film. It’s a one of its kind comic thrillers, and the team is all excited to start shooting very soon. Vicky’s character has the Maharashtrian shades to it and whereas the details of Bhumi and Kiara’s track has been kept under wraps."

This is second collaboration between Vicky and Kiara who previously worked together on the critically acclaimed 'Lust Stories'.
