Janhvi Kapoor is gearing up for her upcoming series Ghost Stories, which will be aired on Netflix. Currently, reports state that Janhvi Kapoor would be replacing Kiara Advani in the Varun Dhawan starrer Mr Lele. Earlier there were reports that Kiara Advani dropped the project. Reportedly, director Khaitaan has now cast Janhvi Kapoor for Kiara’s role in the movie.

As per the Filmfare reports, Kiara Advani had to back out of the project as the actor could not finalise a date for the movie. Advani reportedly said that she has a lot of scripts coming for the year 2020, therefore, it is difficult for her to work on this movie. According to another report, Janhvi would be taking Kiara’s role. This would be the first collaboration of Janhvi Kapoor with Varun Dhawan. The movie is directed by Khaitaan who would be collaborating with Varun Dhawan for the second time after the duo's first movie Badrinath Ki Dulhania.
