While actors getting replaced are not uncommon in Bollywood, this one stands out for its sheer dint. Actor Prachi Desai's sister Esha was finalised for one of the characters in Producer-Director Abhishek Jawakar's Missing on a weekend.
After completing the first schedule of the film in Goa and just before commencement of the second schedule in Gorai, Abhishek was informed about her inability to continue with the film - the reason being her husband and in-laws did not approve of her being an actor.
Unfortunately the director had to bear heavy losses due to this. However Abhishek has no regrets since he found her replacement in Khushboo Kamal with whom they reshot the scenes in Goa and fortunately they turned out to be super with no regrets for the fiasco of original!
