‘Things Aren’t Working Out…’: Saif Ali Khan On Stepping Into Abhishek Bachchan’s Shoes For ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’
Reportedly, as things aren’t going well between Abhishek Bachchan and Aditya Chopra, Saif Ali Khan stepped into the ‘Bob Biswas’ actor’s shoe for ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’.
New Delhi: ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ released in theatres on November 19, 2021. Starring Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Sharvari Wagh in the lead roles, this movie is the sequel of the 2005 film ‘Bunty Aur Babli’. Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukerji played the lead roles in the movie and won hearts as Bunty and Babli respectively.
However, according to several media reports, things aren’t going well between Abhishek Bachchan and Aditya Chopra, which led to Saif Ali Khan stepping into the ‘Bob Biswas’ actor’s shoe for ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’.
Saif Ali Khan revealed how he replaced Abhishek Bachchan for the role of Bunty in ‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ during a conversation with media portal. The ‘Vikram Vedha’ actor was quoted saying by News18, “Honestly speaking, Adi called and said, ‘Things aren’t working out and we aren’t able to take the story forward with the original cast. Would you be interested in being a part of this film once they adjust the role.’ And I said yes because he is producing the movie and he knew what he wanted to do with the franchise and once they knew that they weren’t going one way, they took the other route. So it happens and I have a very pragmatic approach towards it.”
‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ also marks Saif Ali Khan reunion with Rani Mukerji after 13 long years on screen. They were considered as one of the most iconic duos of the film industry and their sizzling chemistry set screens on fire. Saif and Rani were last seen starring together in the 2008 movie ‘Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic’. Their pair in ‘Hum Tum’ was also loved by the audience.
‘Bunty Aur Babli 2’ is currently running in theatres and the movie is reportedly doing moderate business.
