Kriti Kharbanda replaces Nushrat Bharucha?

There is nothing new in actors getting replaced in a project. There have been numerous such instances where actors had to be replaced at the last moment for a variety of reasons. The latest one to face the similar situation is Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety (2018) fame actress Nushrat Bharucha who has been, reportedly, replaced in an upcoming big-ticket film.

If you follow all updates on Bollywood, you would remember that rumours were rife last year that Nushrat Bharucha was locked to play the female lead in Salman Khan Films’ next production venture Bulbul Marriage Hall. Superstar Salman Khan’s manager Jordy Patel was set to make his directorial debut with the flick. But now the news is coming in that Bharucha has been replaced by Kriti Kharbanda.

A source in the know tells an entertainment portal that Nushrat had to leave the film of her own accord as she could not adjust her dates. “Nushrat could not accommodate the dates and hence, despite liking the script, she had to give it up. The makers understood her situation because Jordy and Nushrat have always shared a very warm friendship for years now,” informs the source.

The source goes on to add, “After Nushrat’s dates did not work out, they approached Kriti because she fits the bill and is a great performer, too. Kriti liked the script and immediately gave her go ahead. They begin shoot sometime soon.” Rumour has it that Kriti Kharbanda’s boyfriend Pulkit Samrat may come onboard to play the male lead in the film.

Meanwhile, Nushrat Bharucha is looking forward to the release of her forthcoming film Chhalaang. Directed by Hansal Mehta and produced by Ajay Devgn, the social black comedy film also stars Rajkummar Rao in the lead role. Chhalaang is slated to enter cinemas on 13th March 2020.
