Exclusive: Kiara Advani refuses role opposite Vicky Kaushal in Dharma’s next horror comedy

Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal wowed us with their performance in Karan Johar’s short story in the anthology ‘Lust Stories’ last year, which aired on digital platform, Netflix. The chemistry between the two actors was sparkling and that led to a brand signing them together as faces for their campaign. Now we also hear that Dharma Productions wanted an encore with their next feature film, too.

Bhanu Pratap Singh is all set to make his foray into films, with a horror comedy, that he’s directing. Vicky has become the new blue-eyed Dharma boy, with films being pushed by the banner. He did ‘Raazi’ and has a poignant role in ‘Takht’ as well. For Bhanu’s film, he has the meatier role and Kiara was offered the part of the female lead

But Kiara couldn’t do the role. Our exclusive sources confirm, “It’s an extremely small part and moreover, the dates of the film are clashing with another project that Kiara has already committed to. So she couldn’t even accommodate it. They are now looking at another actress to step in for Kiara.”

On the work front, Kiara is currently promoting her South film and will soon move to Delhi to shoot for Kabir Singh which also stars Shahid Kapoor in the main lead.

Vicky on the other hand is awaiting the release of his next ‘URI: The Surgical Strike’. The film also stars Yami Gautam.
