He also gives very interesting inputs, but unfortunately due to his dates and time he will not be seen in Part 3, but who knows, he might be in Part 4.”
Richa Chadha told ANI, “In the film Bholi (Richa’s character) is with Choochaa (Varun’s character), she doesn’t really think about Zafar Bhai (Ali Fazal’s character).”
