Bhediya, a horror comedy was earlier supposed to have Shraddha Kapoor opposite Varun but the actress reportedly declined the offer making a way for Kriti who will be exploring the genre for the first time. Bhediya is believed to be the latest addition in Dinesh Vijan’s in-the-development horror-comedy universe. “Bhediya is a monster satire and will see Varun and Kriti playing the characters they haven’t explored before. Kriti liked the concept and immediately gave her nod to the film that reunites her with Varun Dhawan five years after Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale that starred Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in the lead,” said the source close to the development.
Kriti Sanon’s casting doesn’t come as a surprise considering she has lately been working and being selected in every other Dinesh Vijan production. The actress has so far featured in five Maddock Films ventures as lead and Bhediya will mark her eighth and third consecutive collaboration with the banner. She has already completed Laxman Utekar’s Mimi and will shoot for Abhishek Jain’s yet-untitled comedy-drama with Rajkummar Rao, Paresh Rawal, and Aparshakti Khurrana before heading to Bhediya in January 2021.
