Fawad Khan Replaces Sidharth Malhotra In Karan Johar’s Next Project

It is no secret that film maker Karan Johar shares a great rapport with Pakistani actor Fawad Khan. The duo has earlier worked in Kapoor and Sons, for which the actor was highly appreciated. Also, the actor is a part of Karan Johar’s upcoming project, titled Ae Dil Hai Mushkil. Though, the actor has been a part of all the ensemble projects, but now for the first time Karan Johar has offered him a full-fledged solo role. The buzz is that earlier Sidharth Malhotra was the filmmakers’ choice, but later Fawad was approached and he immediately agreed to do the film.

According to a source, “Initially, Sidharth Malhotra was being considered for the role. But, later, Karan approached Fawad and he immediately agreed to be part of it. He fits the bill and this film will mark his first solo hero outing in Bollywood”. As of now, Karan Johar has not made any official announcement, as he has not yet zeroed in on the lead actress and the director.

Confirming the news, another source reported, “The filmmaker-actor jodi is willing to collaborate on more films since they share a good rapport. They have been spotted together on numerous occasions and have discussed few ideas as well as scripts. Fawad recently signed a film after he liked the script”. Another interesting fact to add up is that the mother of Karan Johar, Hiroo Johar, is a fan of this Pakistani hottie and had also persuaded the filmmaker to cast him in his films. Well, we agree with  Hiroo Johar, as the actor has won many Indian hearts in just a short span of time.
