A source says, "Aditya Chopra loved Vicky in his previous few films and feels he's the star of tomorrow. He's producing a comedy film and has roped in Vicky for it. The deal has been locked and Vicky loved the role. He especially liked the film because it's a never-before-seen character for him as nobody has seen him do comedy before. It will also be Vicky's first stint in the comedy space. More details on the film are awaited. But the film will be one of the first few to go on floors and the dates will be chalked out once the situation is better to shoot." This will be Vicky's maiden collaboration with the banner but Adi and Vicky has hit it off really well. 

The film will be announced as part of the YRF 50 celebrations to be held next month. The team had plans to host a grand event, announcing their next slate of films on Yash Chopra's birthday (September 27), as part of the production house's golden jubilee in Indian cinema. There will be several other films starring other biggies like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and others being announced on the same date.
