Vicky Kaushal is currently gearing up for his next release Zara Hatke Zara Bachke starring Sara Ali Khan. The trailer is getting a lot of love from the audience. The makers are leaving no stone unturned to promote the film. Recently in an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Hungama, director Laxman Utekar shared details about his next film Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj.

Sharing the status of the upcoming film, the Zara Hatke Zara Bachke director said, “We have started our pre-production. The film will go on floors from this September. Vicky has started training in horse riding and fencing. He needs to put on a lot of weight. His training is going on now. Hopefully, we will start shooting in September.” Earlier it was reported that the shooting would start in October.

Well, while talking to News18, he also shared why he didn’t cast Kriti Sanon in the film. “There is no reason why Kriti is not a part of Zara Hatke Zara Bachke (laughs). I felt Sara was the perfect fit to play Saumya Chawla Dubey (her character in the film). A character demands a particular actor and you get to know that when you are writing a film. Sara was needed for this character because of her personality, her behaviour, her fun and her mischief, and she had to translate that on screen for her role,” he said.

Zara Hatke Zara Bachke is releasing on June 2. Talking about the film, it is set in Indore, with Vicky playing the role of Kapil and Sara playing the role of Saumya. The small town story begins with the couple falling for each other. However, life takes a turn after a few years, with the couple fighting constantly. They eventually file for divorce but there seems to be a hitch.
