The director shared a note on Twitter where he announced that after a mutual discussion with director Karan Johar and Varun Dhawan, the shooting of the film has been postponed.
"Scheduling the film was turning out to be very tough, as the film had a solid ensemble cast and the dates were just not falling into place," Khaitan's note read.
He further said in the quote that he is sure that he will soon collaborate with Varun Dhawan either for 'Mr Lele' itself or for some other project.

The post was later shared by Dhawan on his Twitter with the caption, "कोई नहीं पूछता कब निकले कब चले,सब देखते हैं कि मजिंल पे कब पहुंचे. Soon...."

The film would have been Varun Dhawan's third film with Khaitan after 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania' and 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania'.
Jhanvi Kapoor was roped in alongside Varun in the flick.
