Filmmaker
Shashank
Khaitan
warned
against
the
issue
of
fake
casting
calls
for
his
film
Mr.
Lele,
which
has
been
shelved.
He
notified
that
anyone
who
is
claiming
to
be
from
Dharma
Productions,
casting
for
the
film,
is
a
fraudster
as
the
film
is
not
happening
at
present.
Shashank
captioned
his
post
on
Instagram,
"Please
be
aware
of
all
such
people
claiming
to
be
from
Dharma
Productions.
Mr
Lele
is
not
happening
right
now.
We
are
not
casting
for
it.
Please
do
not
get
scammed
by
such
frauds.
Please
take
care.
Be
safe."
An
accompanying
note
read,
"URGENT
-
I
have
recieved
many
messages
and
emails
from
actors
that
someone,
going
by
the
name
Nitesh
Sharma
Casting,
is
claming
to
be
a
casting
director
for
Dharma
Productions
and
the
film
Mr.
Lele.
He
is
asking
for
money
for
auditions
and
other
favours.
PLEASE
NOTE
THIS
IS
FALSE
...
No
one
by
this
name
works
for
Dharma.
Also
we
are
not
casting
for
Mr
Lele,
as
the
film
is
not
happening
at
present."
The
film
was
announced
earlier
this
year,
with
Varun
Dhawan
in
the
lead.
However,
it
was
shelved
in
March
as
scheduling
the
film
turned
out
to
be
tough
as
the
dates
of
the
cast
were
not
falling
into
place.
Shashank
had
said
in
a
statement
that
the
script
of
Mr.
Lele
is
very
special
to
him,
and
that
he
hoped
to
revisit
the
film
soon.
He
was
positive
that
he
and
Varun
would
collaborate
soon,
either
on
Mr.
Lele
itself,
or
on
another
film.
Shashank
and
Varun
have
worked
together
on
films
like
Badrinath
Ki
Dulhania
and
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania.
