Ali Fazal replaces Arjun Rampal in Love affair

Actor Ali Fazal seems to have hit gold with the Bhatts. He was last seen in Mahesh Bhatt’s Khamoshiyan and now the buss is that he has replaced actor Arjun Rampal in filmmaker Pooja Bhatt’s next, Love Affair. According to a source, “Ali has been roped in to replace Arjun, as the latter was too expensive for the production house. Not that Arjun has done any wonders at the box office either.”

When contacted, the Bobby Jasoos actor said he was thankful to Bhatts for getting him on board. “Pooja and Bhatt sahab have put in so much trust in me. The fact that in the need of the hour they called upon me, gives me great strength. I can’t say much right now, the part has come to me very last minute and I am doing everything in my power to get familiar with the character,” says Ali. At the same time, he clarifies that there is no bad blood between him and the Roy actor over this Soni Razdan directorial. “Arjun Rampal is a fine performer… I have very big shoes to fill. I am going to meet him and get some professional advice from him,” says Ali. And that’s not all. He has also been signed up for yet-another Mahesh Bhatt film, which will be directed by Karan Dhar.
