Saif Ali Khan Out, Sidharth Malhotra In For Aanand L Rai’s Next Film

A few days ago it was reported that Aanand L Rai was bringing the Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein cast once again on the screen. Though Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein had Dia Mirza , Saif Ali Khan and R. Madhavan , however Aanand has planned to cast only Saif and Madhavan. In fact, we heard that Saif was the first actor to be short-listed for the role.

But, now it is reported that the script has gone through a change and Saif is no longer a part of the project. He has been replaced by Sidharth Malhotra. Navdeep Singh, who is famous for directing Phillauri, NH10 and Manorama Six Feet Under, will helm the flick.

“The makers wanted a younger actor to play the lead instead of Saif, after initially settling on him. Madhavan shares a great rapport with Rai, as he’s earlier worked in two editions of the Tanu Weds Manu franchise, and he stays in the film. One of the reasons why Sidharth has agreed to do the film is because he knows Aanand makes sensible films, which can get him on steady grounds,” revealed a source.
