20 Mar 2020

KiaraAdvaniwho until a few years ago was a struggling for a place under thearc lightsis now an eminently sought-after name inBollywood. ProducerKaranJohars forthcoming comedy MrLele directed byShashankKhaitan was first offered toKiaraAdvani. She couldnt find the time to accommodate the film and the project passed on to JanhviKapoor. This snub hasnt gone down well withKaranwho was instrumental in re-launchingKiarain the web series Lust Stories.However a source close to the development defends Kiaras inability to oblige her mentor. Kiara is now as much aDharmagirl asJanhvi. But she has to complete LaxmmiBomb withAkshayKumarand IndooKiJawani with producer Nikhil Advani. Her dates for these assignments clashed with Dharmas MrLele.No hard feelings. She will have many opportunities to do other films withDharma productions. Incidentally,KaranJoharis not the only hotshot filmmakerKiarahas said no to. Mohit Suri wanted to castKiara with John Abraham andAdityaRoyKapur in the sequel to Ek Villain.Kiara couldnt accept the offer. The role has now gone to DishaPatani.
