Kiara Advani Says No, Jahnvi Kapoor Steps In

Kiara Advani who until  a few years ago was a struggling for a  place under the arclights is now an eminently  sought-after  name  in Bollywood.

Producer Karan Johar’s forthcoming comedy Mr Lele  directed  by Shashank Khaitan  was  first offered  to Kiara Advani . Kiara Advani  couldn’t  find  the  time to accommodate the  film and  the project  passed  on to  Janhvi Kapoor.

This  snub hasn’t gone down well with Karan who  was  instrumental  in  re-launching Kiara in   the web series Lust Stories.

However a  source  close to  the development defends Kiara’s  inability to  oblige her mentor.“Kiara is  now  as much a Dharma girl as Janhvi. But she has to complete Laxmi Bomb with Akshay Kumar and  Indoo Ki Jawani with producer Nikhil Advani. Her dates for these  assignments clashed with Dharma’s Mr Lele. No  hard feelings . She will have many  opportunities to do  other films with Dharma  productions.”

 Incidentally Karan Johar is  not  the  only hotshot filmmaker Kiara Advani   has said no to. Mohit Suri wanted to cast Kiara  with John Abraham and Aditya Roy Kapoor  in the sequel to Ek Villain.  Kiara Advani  couldn’t  accept the offer . The role has now gone to  Disha Patani.
