Rajkummar Rao replaces John Abraham in ‘Chor Nikal Ke Bhaaga’?

John Abraham, who is now filming for ‘Parmanu’, was soon to start working on Raj Kumar Gupta’s ‘Chor Nikal Ke Bhaaga’. Besides being the lead actor, he would also be one of the producers. However, if reports are to be believed, then Abraham has now backed out of the project.

A report in Mid-day suggests that actor Rajkummar Rao has now come on board.

“The film was to go on the floors next month, but it has now been pushed to the end of the year. Actor Rajkummar Rao has been roped in instead. Since Rao is currently sporting the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose look for Hansal Mehta’s film, the makers will have to wait. Meanwhile, Gupta, who was left in a spot after Abraham’s exit, has found a major studio to back his movie,” a source told the publication.

Reportedly, Abraham decided to move out after he developed creative differences with the director.
