Kriti Sanon opts out of Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Lucknow Central’, Saiyami Kher takes over

‘Mirzya’ actress Saiyami Kher has finally grabbed her next film after a gap two months. The actress has been roped in to play the lead in Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Lucknow Central’.

The film earlier had Farhan and Kriti Sanon in the lead roles, before Kriti backed out of the venture. The actress apparently opted out of the venture due to date issues. It was a few days ago that Nikhil Advani, the producer of the film, had stated that the film would go on floors on January 4 next year. A source recently revealed, “The film was originally supposed to start rolling by September-end. Due to a few production issues, it got delayed. Kriti has already allocated her dates to another project. She was left with no option but to opt out of the film.”

The makers then had to arrange an audition. An insider says, “Nikhil and the film’s director, Ranjit Tiwari, liked Saiyami the most.”

Even though neither Saiyami nor Nikhil commented on the development, Kriti’s exit from the film is certain.
