Harshvardhan Kapoor to replace Sooraj Pancholi in Farhan Akhtar’s next?

When ‘Hero’ bombed, everyone thought Sooraj Pancholi’s career was over even before it started. But he landed up with some plump film offers. The actor was signed on for Remo D’Souza’s next which never took off and also was in talks for Farhan Akhtar‘s production venture for which he was learning the ropes of football.

But that film has been snatched away from him. The makers had gone to Tiger Shroff initially who hesitated to do the film as he didn’t find any meat in the role. Then, Sooraj was approached who was readily on board. But things went awry between him and the producers who started having second thoughts in casting him as the hero.

Without letting Sooraj know, the makers then went to Harshvardhan Kapoor with the film. He sat down for a narration and Farhan is a close family friend, so he met them immediately and heard them. Harsh is known for his unconventional choices in films. Although the makers want Harsh to step in, it’s most unlikely that he would. He already has two films in hand and we hear he isn’t too keen for the project. But if he also cops out, we wonder who Farhan will approach next for the role.
