Khaitan has reportedly planned a 10-day schedule at an Andheri bungalow. Vicky and Kiara started shooting last Tuesday while Bhumi joined the sets on Friday. The makers have lined up some indoor sequences for the next week after which they will be shooting the film across different locations in Mumbai.Mr. Lele was first announced in 2020 with Varun Dhawan in the lead. However, the film was put on the back burner two months after the announcement. Later, a change in the cast was announced and the director made changes to the script to suit the new casting.
