Rajkummar Rao replaced R. Madhavan & here’s the real reason!

The news of Ranganathan Madhavan aka R Madhavan cast in a Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's production venture Fanney Khan, along with Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan sent a wave of excitement in his fans. Considering the fact the film will be an official remake of Oscar nominated Dutch film Everybody’s Famous, which is a quirky comedy and will be directed by Atul Manjrekar, even general Bollywood Buffs were excited. And the news of R Madhavan was replaced by Rajkummar Rao!

It would have been R Madhavan’s second film with Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, so be it not under his direction. As per reports from HindustanTimes, Madhavan gave clarification saying, “I loved the script and was really keen to be part of an interesting ensemble like Fanney Khan, unfortunately, I couldn’t commit to the project due to date issues. I wish the team of all the luck” Whereas, as per co-producer Prernaa Arora thinks, “I think Madhavan is one of the finest actors we have today. I look forward to working with him in the future.”

Though both actor and producers clarified their stand, rumors say otherwise! As per a news report by Mid-Day, the actor apparently asked for un-feasible signing amount that producers decide to go with Rajkummar Rao. And now Rajkummar Rao will be paired against Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the most beautiful women in the world and talent house for action, this must be Career Goal achieved for Rajkummar Rao for sure!
