Fawad out, Farhan in?

After Khoobsurat, Fawad Khan was to pair up again with Sonam Kapoor in Rhea Kapoor's film adaptation of Anuja Chauhan's Battle For Bittora. That seems set to change with Fawad dilly-dallying.

“Right after he was signed for the film, Fawad had expressed his concerns to the makers. He was apparently uncomfortable with a few intimate scenes in the script. Both parties tried working it out, but now Fawad has decided that he doesn't want to be a part of the project,” our source reveals.

After a few discussions, it has been decided that Farhan Akhtar who was paired with Sonam Kapoor in Bhaag Milkha Bhaag would be the perfect choice for the role. “Farhan and Sonam's pairing was liked by people in the biopic. They arrived at a joint decision that Farhan would be ideal for the role. Rhea was very happy with the choice and currently they are finalising the deal with him. Official announcements will soon be made,” our source says.

Anil Kapoor was a part of Excel Entertainment's Dil Dhadakne Do and now seems like Farhan is returning the favour by agreeing to be a part of Rhea's film. What's interesting is that Fawad was recently signed on by Reema Kagti for Excel's film Mr Chaalu and now, he replaces the actor in Battle For Bittora.
