Chitrangda Singh To Make Her Comeback Opposite Saif Ali Khan In Baazaar
Chitrangda Singh will play Saif Ali Khan’s wife in Nikkhil Advani's Baazaar. The role was earlier associated with Prachi Desai
Saif Ali Khan has finally got a leading lady in Nikkhil
Advani’s Baazaar.
Prachi Desai was reportedly in talks to play Saif’s wife,
Mandira but now it’s official, Chitrangda Singh has been brought on-board by the makers to star opposite Saif Ali Khan.
In a statement, Nikkhil said: “I'm happy that the cast is
looking so exciting. The cast consists of Saif Ali Khan, Chitrangda Singh,
Radhika Apte and Rohan Mehra who would be making his acting debut. The shooting
of the film has just begun and will be wrapped up by mid-August. The film
is slated for a December release. As far as the role of Mandira in
Baazaar is concerned, director Gauravv K Chawla, came up with the idea of
casting Chitrangda, adding that script was going through revisions before the
team started shooting and Gauravv wanted to ensure he had the script locked
before he approached an actress for the role.”

Nikkhil further adds that Chitrangada's role is a
pivotal one. The filmmaker described Mandira as, “A powerful character that's
silent and simmering, like a volcano about to erupt.”
Baazaar is set against the backdrop of the heady cocktail
of city life in Mumbai and its extremely seductive and dangerous world of stock
trading.
The poster of Baazaar was launched earlier this month. The
poster has a grey-haired Saif standing tall and the tagline reads, “Yahan paisa
Bhagwaan nahi, par Bhagwaan se kam bhi nahi".
