R Madhavan underwent a shoulder surgery in February and as a result the actor will be out of action for at next two months. Sadly, the actor is losing out on interesting projects that he was supposed to do.

Maddy is forced to give up the role of a baddie in Rohit Shetty's film 'Simmba' because of the same reason and the actor took to Twitter and wrote,  “Hey folks. So I am a huge crazy fan of Rohit Shetty and his films. As is my son. It breaks both our hearts that I’m not able to be a part of this film because of my injury. I’m well on my way to recovery but this is a huge opportunity and excitement lost.”

But this is not the only film. Madhavan was also meant to do Navdeep Singh's historical drama featuring Saif Ali Khan in the lead. But due to his injury, the actor has been replaced by Manav Vij of 'Udta Punjab' and 'Rangoon' fame. Mumbai Mirror reported that while Saif has already started shooting for the film, Maddy was supposed to join the cast in March. The actor had also taken horse-riding lessons and training for action sequences. 

Manav Vij will now step into Madhavan's shoes and undergo similar preparation for the part. .

This film was meant to be a reunion for Rehna Hai Tere Dil Main actors after a gap of 17 years but now that's clearly not happening.

Get well soon Madhavan.
