New Delhi: Upcoming Bollywood film 'Farzi' has started making headlines owing to its cast predictions. Directors of the film- Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K were looking forward to cast Arjun Kapoor and Kriti Sanon in lead roles.
As per a Bollywoodlife.com report originally attributed to the Mid-Day, rumour has it that Arjun Kapoor has now walked out of the film and has suggested his cousin, Harshvardhan for the role.
Here is what a source said to Mid-Day
“Arjun was in talks for Farzi, until recently. But then the director duo’s 'A Gentleman', starring Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez, released last week, and tanked at the box office. As reports started trickling in, Arjun felt that at this point in his career, it wouldn’t be wise for him to act in a heist film. The Farzi project in case hadn’t gone beyond an offer, and due to factors that didn’t align, Arjun decided not to take it up. The film hadn’t reached the monetary discussion stage either. Arjun is keen to do a rom-com like Namastey Canada, which he starts next year.”
Also, one of the directors Nidimoru Raj told the tabloid,
“Yes, we were in talks for Farzi with Shahid Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor, but the talks were at initial stages, and they fell through. Then we got busy with the release of A Gentleman. Now, we are figuring out how to take things forward, and which actor to approach. As far as casting Harsh is concerned, it is too early to talk about it.”
