Ali Fazal walks out of Fukrey 3 days ahead of production, actor will not be replaced in the film: Reports

The Fukrey cast is all set to reunite as the third installment of the franchise goes on floors. Unfortunately Ali Fazal will not be joining the cast of Fukrey 3 this time. The actor has walked out of the film owing to his chasing schedule according to a report in Mid-Day.

Ali who had an exceptionally busy schedule since the beginning of 2022 with the shoot of his next Hollywood outing Kandahar and the promotions of Death on The Nile is now busy with Vishal Bharadwaj ’s Khufiya. The star joined the sets of Khufiya in February and will be unable to join Fukrey 3 which goes in floor this month.

On Thursday actor Varun Sharma shared a post from the sets of Fukrey 3 which will reportedly begin shoot next week. Ali has been an integral part of the cast of Fukrey since the first film. The movie also stars Pulkit Samrat , Richa Chaddha , Pankaj Tripathi and Manjot Singh.

Ali will keep busy with Vishal Bhadwaj’s thriller till the end of March which has been the primary reason of him dropping out of Fukrey. Meanwhile, the publication also had a source claiming that director Mrigdeep Lamba is keen on taking Fukrey 3 to production after getting a combination of dates from the remaining cast.

Despite, Ali’s departure, the movie will not look for a replacement for the actor. The makers are finding a way to tweak the script to explain the absence of Ali’s character from the gang.

Fukrey 2 had released in December 2017 and soon after Fukrey 3 was also announced. However, the project has been perpetually delayed due to the pandemic.

On a personal front, earlier this year it was reported that Ali and Richa Chaddha plan to get married this month but the actor had confirmed that the plans depend on their busy schedules.
