Pinkvilla was the first to report that after Main Tera Hero (2014), Judwaa 2 (2017), and Coolie No. 1 (2020), David Dhawan and Varun Dhawan are all set to reunite for the fourth time for an untitled comedy, which will feature the actor alongside two leading ladies. We now have an exciting update on the latter. We have heard that this Ramesh Taurani backed project has zeroed in on Mrunal Thakur to play one of the female leads in this VD starrer.
“This is the first time that Varun and Mrunal are collaborating for a film, and everyone attached to the project is extremely excited about this fresh pairing. Mrunal and David sir have had a couple of meetings as well, and the film is expected to roll in May or June of this year. The preparation is underway, and the second female lead will be signed very soon,” informs a source close to the development, adding that the movie will be shot at multiple locations in India and abroad.
