Shraddha Kapoor replaces Katrina Kaif in Remo D'Souza's dance film with Varun Dhawan

Shraddha Kapoor is back again for the ABCD dance franchise alongside Varun Dhawan. The news came about when there were talks that Katrina Kaif would replace the Stree movie in the Remo D'Souza's dance film franchise. Reports, however, have now confirmed that Shraddha Kapoor who was seen in the last installment of the dance movie will continue on with her Vinnie role. Katrina Kaif who has exhibited her killer dance moves in movies such as Thugs of Hindostan opted out for the role due to prior commitments with Salman Khan's period drama Bharat.

This report of Shraddha’s onboard has been confirmed by film critic Taran Adarsh who took to social media to make the announcement. He tweeted, "IT'S OFFICIAL... Director Remo D'Souza, Varun Dhawan and Shraddha Kapoor reunite for a new dance-based film... Filming begins 22 Jan 2019 in Punjab... Major chunk will be shot in UK... Produced by Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar and Lizelle D'Souza."
