Shashank Khaitan's comic thriller Mr Lele, starring Vicky Kaushal, Kiara Advani and Bhumi Pedenkar has roped in a Bollywood heartthrob for one of the movie's songs. As per reports, Ranbir Kapoor has come on board to shoot for the music sequence of Mr Lele. The song is composed by Tanishk Bagchi and Rochak Kohli. As per Pinkvilla's latest report, a trade source revealed that the Barfi actor has been rehearsing for the song, which will be shot at Mehboob Studios from Wednesday. 

The movie has faced several COVID-19 related delays since it commenced shooting in April this year.

Mr Lele was announced in January 2020 and originally conceptualised with Varun Dhawan in the lead. However, the actor took an exit from the film, resulting in a new set of actors on board.
