Vicky Kaushal is currently gearing up for his next film
Govinda Naam Mera which also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani. Produced
under Karan Johar's banner, Dharma Productions, the film is directed by
Shashank Khaitan of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania. We
last heard that Govinda Naam Mera is gearing up for a release this year.
However, as per the reports that surfaced recently, the lead actors Vicky
Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani may not make it to the theaters but
will go straight to the OTT release.
Govinda Naam Mera to get instant OTT release?
A well-placed
source of entertainment news exclusively informed BollywoodLife that Govinda
Naam Mera has been delayed for a long time as the project was announced
earlier. Hence, producer Karan Johar may not want to stick with the lead stars
Vicky Kaushal, Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani only to find a possible
theatrical window in the next few months in an already busy Bollywood calendar
where some are on hold and other expected films are. establish. for release.
When Mr. Lele became Govinda Naam Mera
Not many know, but director Shashank Khaitan started
shooting Govinda Naam Mera first with good friend Varun Dhawan, with whom he
also had hits, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, and the
film was then titled Mr Lele. Due to many unknown reasons, Varun withdrew from
the project, Vicky joined and Mr. Lele was restructured, renamed and relaunched
as Govinda Naam Mera. Our source also informed us that the film seems to have
failed to live up to the expectations of the revamped avatar and hence Karan
might opt for an immediate digital release.
