Did Saiyami Kher replace Alia Bhatt in Rajshree Ojha’s next?

Looks like the ‘Mirzya’ star Saiyami Kher is the new favourite of Bollywood directors this season. After replacing Kriti Sanon in Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Lucknow Central’, she has now apparently replaced Alia Bhatt in filmmaker Rajshree Ojha’s next.

If reports are to be believed then Saiyami has given a positive nod to Rajshree’s yet untitled film. Earlier Alia was supposed to be the female lead in this film but, due to her tight schedule, she has not been able to give her dates to this film. Hence, she had to back out from this project. As said someone’s loss is someone’s gain, Saiyami is the one who has gained in this situation.

This film is apparently a period drama and would have Nawazuddin Siddiqui playing the male lead. Saiyami, who is just one film old in industry, seems to have impressed quite a few directors with her startling performance. She made her debut alongside Anil Kapoor’s son Harshvardhan Kapoor.
