The Hate Story franchise is one of a kind in Bollywood. The erotic thriller series gained immense popularity from the word go making it one of the most watched franchises in the recent times and we were the first ones to tell you that the makers have signed up Urvashi Rautela as the leading lady for the fourth film. And now we have insights into the casting for the male lead as well, who is none other than popular TV actor Karan Wahi.
Karan Wahi, who has become a household name after Khatron Ke Khiladi 8 is all set to play the lead actor in the upcoming Hate Story 4. The film, produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and directed by Vishal Pandya will also star famous Punjabi actress Ihana Dhillon. Unlike the previous three instalments, this time the erotic content of the film has been toned down as it’s been touted to be based on real incidents.
In a statement given to DNA, Director Vishal Pandya had earlier said, "This instalment of Hate Story will be different from the earlier ones in terms of the sensuousness and its bold content. That’s because it is based on a real incident and we are targeting a very different audience. Erotica will definitely not be the mainstay of the film, but that doesn’t mean we will not be catering to the audiences of the already established franchise."
Karan Wahi and Urvashi have already started shooting for the film in London and if insiders are to be believed, Ihana plays an intense character and Karan Wahi plays the man in question between these two leading ladies.
