Films are made with a combined effort of several hands where a hit and a flop defines future of many. While a role may be written for an actor, it may finally land on another and some other may sign the film. Recently actor Kartik Aaryan left/ was removed from the film Dostana 2 over reasons not yet disclosed. Let's have a look at such actors who were replaced or left the film.
Shraddha Kapoor was replaced by Parineeti Chopra in the movie Saina though Shraddha had really worked hard for the role but insiders have it that she was not able to do justice to the role after which the makers and she felt it was best that someone else did the role.
The super duper hit film Kabir Singh was earlier offered to Arjun Kapoor but directorArjun said since director Vanga was committed to Shahid Kapoor, the role went to Shahid.
The film which is yet to make major announcement but is a mega peoject is Vikram Vedha starring Hrithik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan. The two are working for the first time. But reports had it that the actual choice for the role was Aamir not Hrithik but reportedly due to some shooting restrictions over a particular location, he backed out of the project.
Similarly The Thugs of Hindostan had initial cast of Hrithik Roshan and not Aamir but due to creative differences, the actor was replaced by Aamir.
The seasoned actor Rishi Kapoor was the integral part of the Intern remake but after his demise, Amitabh Bachchan has taken the role in the film which also stars Deepika Padukone.
Mahima Chaudhary had claimed, "Ram Gopal Varma replaced me in Satya without informing me." Urmila Matondkar got the role and she was not even informed.
Varun Dhawan has been replaced in Shahshank Khaitan’s Mr Lele by Vicky Kaushal over creative differences after which he left the film amicably.
Taapsee Pannu in an interview a few months ago shared , "I faced some really weird things in the beginning like she isn't pretty enough. I've been replaced because the hero's wife didn't want me to be part of the film."
HT states in it's report, that in an earlier interview to HuffPost India Bobby Deol was replaced by Shahid Kapoor on Kareena Kapoor's insistence who was then dating him. He revealed, "There was a studio called Shri Ashtavinayak who wanted to sign me. I told them that let's sign Imtiaz. He has a script ready. And let's talk to Kareena Kapoor. The producers were like oh no, that guy will make an expensive film. Kareena on the other hand didn't even want to meet Imtiaz. I took them to Priety Zinta. She agreed but said she can do it only after 6 months. So we were stuck." To his shock he discovered soon that Kareena had signed the film and got Imtiaz to cast Shahid to play the main and Bobby was, "I was like, wow. Quite an industry."
