First Harman Baweja walked out of it. Then things didn't work out to sign on John Abraham. And when Rajeev Khandelwal was signed on for the film, Bhansali and director Vibhu Puri are planning to even replace him.
They were supposed to start shooting for the film in September but delayed because of Rajeev's shows.
Now the director and producer are planning to replace him as they feel he will not match Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan as he is an indie actor. They are looking for a replacement but Rajeev has still not been told about this development.
