Hrithik Roshan out, Fawad Khan in Zoya Akhtar's next?
Zoya Akhtar could not woo Hrithik Roshan for her next; she has found an alternative in the Pakistani hottie
Hrithik Roshan was approached to play one of the lead roles in Zoya Akhtar’s next, which already has Ranveer Singh on board.
The film, supposedly about Mumbai rappers, interested Duggu. And while he insists he was never offered a film by her, the truth is the idea of doing a two-hero film didn’t appeal to him and he turned down the film.
A little birdie tells us that Zoya is now looking to cast Fawad Khan in his place. “She loved Fawad in Kapoor & Sons and decided to work with him right after watching the film. However, she never had him in mind while writing this film. When Hrithik said no, she was in need for a dashing hero who could also act well. Fawad totally fit the bill,” our source says.
The source adds, “Zoya has briefed Fawad about the basic premise of the film and the two will meet soon and take their discussion forward.”
Fawad’s hot property in Bollywood now. He’s already replaced Saif Ali Khan in Jugalbandi, and after this, we can safely call him the replacement hero!
