Ayushmann Khurrana replaced by brother Aparshakti Khurrana for Shoojit Sircar’s next?

Shoojit Sircar and Ayushmann Khurrana’s first collaboration ‘Vicky Donor’ was a superb success. No wonder we asked for more! Sircar probably felt the same, and was ready with ‘Hamara Bajaj’, which would again star Ayushmann as the lead.

However, things did not work out as planned. The leading automobile company objected to the film’s title, as it was the catchline they used to enhance their brand value.

As a result, the project got shelved for indefinite time.

Now, Sircar aims to open the chapter again, but not with Ayushmann! If reports are to be believed, his younger brother Aparshakti Khurrana of ‘Dangal’ fame has been approached for the same.

Aparshakti played Fatima Sana Shaikh and Sanya Malhotra’s cousin brother in the Aamir Khan-starrer and garnered quite a lot of appreciation for his performance. Apart from essaying one of the pivotal characters, he was also the film’s narrator. A radio jockey and TV anchor, he sure knows the art of talking!

We not yet know whether he has given a positive nod for the project. But let’s keep our fingers crossed!
