Sara, who played the role of Rinku in Atrangi Re, too shared Vicky's Insta story to thank him. In her post, she also requested the filmmaker to cast her opposite the Raazi actor, in case they decide to collaborate. 

For the unversed, Vicky and Sara are already working together in Laxman Utekar’s next film. Recently, the duo was papped shooting in Indore, Madhya Pradesh for the untitled movie. After this, the actor even landed in legal trouble as a resident of Indore filed a police complaint against him for allegedly using a number plate belonging to his vehicle.

Coming back to Atrangi Re, the film tells the story of Rinku (Sara Ali Khan) and Vishu Dhanush) who got forcefully married to each other. But, after spending time together, they grow fond of each other. However, their life changes after the entry of Rinku's lover Sajjad (Akshay Kumar). While fans have loved Sara and Dhanush's onscreen chemistry, a section of viewers aren't happy with the film for trivialising mental health. According to them, the makers of Atrangi Re failed to do justice to the mental issues that the protagonist Rinku was going through in the movie.
