Vicky Kaushal may be currently holidaying in New York with actor-wife Katrina Kaif, but work will soon come calling. The actor has wrapped up the shoot of Govinda Naam Mera, save for a dance number. After he returns to the bay, he is expected to film the song, thus marking the completion of Shashank Khaitan’s comedy that also stars Bhumi Pednekar and Kiara Advani.

It is heard that a massive set is being built at Chitrakoot ground in Andheri for the song. “Vicky has barely had the opportunity to showcase his dancing skills on screen, barring Dhyaanchand in Manmarziyaan [2018]. So, he is looking forward to this number, which will have him grooving to desi beats. Shashank has envisioned it as a fun, quirky offering that will be one of the film’s highlights. If all goes as planned, Vicky will hit the dance floor on June 3, following a few days of rehearsals,” reveals a source.

Govinda Naam Mera is a fun take on a love triangle that sees Pednekar as Kaushal’s on-screen wife and Advani as his girlfriend. The Karan Johar production was announced last November.
