Kabir Khan to replace Vikas Bahl as ‘Super 30’ director?

Ever since Vikas Bahl name resurfaced as an alleged sexual harasser in the ongoing Me Too movement(he was accused by a former employee of the Phantom Films), the future of his upcoming film ‘Super 30’ has been in question. Amidst the sexual harassment allegations, Vikas was asked to step down as director of this Hrithik Roshan starrer.

After Vikas’ exit ‘Super 30’, which is scheduled to release next year on January 25, is in jeopardy as who will take up the charge of the film had become a big question for the makers. However, now it looks like the makers have finally found a replacement for Vikas. A recent report in Bollywood Hungama states that ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ director Kabir Khan might step in at the last moment and complete the film.

A source told the website, “It is not a small thing for any renowned director to step in at his last hour to complete a film. But Kabir, who is already working on another big bio-pic ’83 for the same producers saw the gravity of the situation. ‘Super 30’ has so far shaped up into a finely-honed bio-pic. To leave it unfinished would be doing a disservice to the good work that Anand Kumar has been doing, and to the cause of aesthetic cinema as well.”

Well if this report turns out to be true, then it will a be great news for everyone if a director of Kabir’s calibre takes up this project and finishes it on time. Kabir has some great films like ‘New York’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ to his credit so we are quite sure that he will do full justice to the film.

However, with no official announcement made regarding the same, all we can do is wait and watch.
