SHOCKER! Nawazuddin Replaced By Arshad In Aankhen 2 Without His Knowledge
Buzz is, the Raman Raghav 2.0 actor had consented to do the film but was dropped at the last minute
Ever since the final cast of Aankhen 2 was announced about a week ago, the Gaurang Doshi film has run into trouble. First, Ileana D’Cruz lashed out against the makers for associating her with the film when she had not signed the project. The Barfi actress and the producers have been in a war of words since then. Now we have got yet another scoop regarding Aankhen 2, which sees Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Rampal and Anil Kapoor.
SpotboyE.com has it that Nawazuddin Siddiqui was the first choice for one of the roles in the Anees Bazmee-directed movie. We hear, the actor had been given a script narration of the thriller. Turns out, Nawazuddin was quite excited by the film and instantly gave his nod to the project. Doshi and Bazmee too were glad to have the critically acclaimed actor on board.
However, things panned out very differently when the final star cast was announced on August 17. Nawaz was nowhere to be seen at the event and instead, Arshad Warsi had been roped in for his role. A source close to the actor reveals, “Nawazuddin was shocked to know that he was replaced by Arshad and that too, in such an unceremonious manner.”
When we contacted Gaurang Doshi, he claimed, “No, Nawazuddin was never approached for the film.” However, our source maintained that Nawaz was the original choice. As for Nawazuddin, he chose not to respond to our text.
