Vicky, Sara team up for Laxman Utekar's romantic comedy
Vicky Kaushal and Sara Ali Khan are set to headline a romantic-comedy film, to be directed by Laxman Utekar. The yet-to-be-titled project marks the third collaboration between Utekar and filmmaker Dinesh Vijan after Luka Chuppi and Mimi. "It's based in MP, maybe Ujjain or Gwalior. It is a small-town love story, like my previous films, in which I had a social message," Utekar said.
