Bole Chudiyan: Shamas Siddiqui reveals Ayushmann Khurrana was his original choice and not Nawazuddin Siddiqui

Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be seen in his brother Shamas Siddiqui’s directorial Bole Chudiyan. The movie also stars Tamannaah Bhatia. It marks the directorial debut of Nawazuddin’s brother. Bole Chudiyan is produced by Rajesh Bhatia and Kiren Zaveri Bhatia.

Well, in an interview Shamas has revealed that Nawaz was not the first choice for the film for the main character. Shamas told Mid-Day that Ayushmann Khurrana was his original choice for the film. But the producer wanted to cast Nawaz. “When he narrated the story to Nawaz, he loved the script. I have included some incidents from his life in the script, so I felt [the actor] would do justice to the role,” said Shamas.

Due to the current situation of the Covid-19 crisis, things got delayed. Shamas said that they had planned to shoot the climax of the movie on April 15. But everything has been stalled now. He hopes to wrap up the film soon.

Recently, Nawazuddin slammed Bollywood celebs for posting their vacation pics and videos when the country is going through such a crisis. Nawaz’s fans supported him but Shamas has a different view on it. He said, “We both have different views on the matter. I reacted because the pandemic has brought too much negativity. If someone is [going on a vacation], that’s their only option to escape.”

Coming back to Bole Chudiyan, a new song titled Rehguzar from the movie released today. The music of the song is given by Samira Koppikar while the lyrics are penned by Puneet Sharma. It is a soulful track that shows the love story of Nawaz and Tamannaah.
