There's a lot of anticipation over the much-celebrated dance franchise ABCD's third installment. ABCD 3, again a Remo D'Souza-Varun Dhawan collab, is hunting for its lead actress yet again. Earlier, it was Katrina Kaif who was finalised for the mega-dance project and the fans were very much excited to see her on board. However, she opted out of the film because her schedule for Salman Khan's Bharat clashed with ABCD 3's dates. Post this development, the makers are confused between roping Shraddha Kapoor and Simmba actress Sara Ali Khan. 8 Juicy Revelations Made by Varun and Katrina on Koffee With Karan Season 6.

A source told DNA, "With Shraddha on board, it would be a reunion of the ABCD 2 trio, along with Varun and Remo. They have an equation and that would help in their collaborating on another dance flick." Hinting about Sara's involvement in the project, the source added, "The other strong contender for the role is Sara Ali Khan. She has proved her acting chops in Kedarnath and has been appreciated in Simmba too. Signing her would also mean a fresh new onscreen pair. And Varun and Sara together are bound to generate tremendous buzz for this dance movie. So yes, the makers are definitely looking at the advantage of casting Sara for the film.” Sara Ali Khan Is The Best Thing That Happened To Bollywood in 2018.

Indeed, it will be a blast on the screen with a fresh pair like Sara-Varun dancing their hearts off in the installment. However, Sara has always been conscious about dancing and we wonder whether she will say yes to this full-fledged ambitious dance film. On the other hand, Varun-Shraddha's pair in ABCD 2 was a hit amongst youngsters and roping her for the third part will only be a nostalgia ride for them.
