However, when asked who would be the desi girl in the sequel, Vikrant chose to keep it a secret.
“I think wo main nahi bolunga. Wo Karan sir hi bolenge toh behtar hai. Uski bhi toh badi announcement hai. ( I think, that I will not say, it would be better if Karan says it. That will also have a big announcement).”
The movie was announced in 2019 with Kartik, Lakshya and Janhvi. However, due to some conflict, Kartik stepped out of the project, leaving things in between. Due to this, the project was put on hold.
What happened between Kartik and Karan?
In 2021, Kartik and Karan had an alleged major fallout. Following this, Dharma Production announced that they had postponed the film and would be recasting the lead.
In a statement released in 2021, the production house said that due to ''professional circumstances,'' they will be recasting.
It has been said that Kartik and Karan had a fallout due to creative differences. In an interview with The Indian Express, Kartik talked about the viral controversy and said, “I just focus on my work. That’s all I would like to say on this. Look at my (film) line-up (right now).”
