Bollywood baddie Guslhan Grover would have been the most reputed name among the contestants, but the seasoned actor is said to have opted out citing health woes.
The one who is said to be replacing him is India's premier squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya, who perhaps is more famous for his liaisons with Bollywood diva Neha Dhupia.
According to sources, Gulshan was keen but his health proved to the dampener. As a result, the production house is said to have signed India's top squash player Ritwik Bhattacharya as his replacement.
Bhattacharya couldn't be contacted. Apart from his sporting achievement, the man has been in the limelight for having an affair with Neha Dhupia.
Channel officials refused to comment. The 13 contestants will be unveiled tomorrow. The likes of Abhishek Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, Milind Soman, and Dino Morea are said to be among the thirteen hunks.
