Vicky Kaushal : Month 10 October Of This Year Opts Out of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham Again’ Due to Clash of Dates with Period Drama ‘Chhawa’
Clash of Commitments: Vicky Kaushal Bows Out of 'Singham Again' to Honor Period Drama Priorities
Vicky Kaushal : In a shocking development, Bollywood heartthrob (Vicky Kaushal) has made a difficult decision to step away from the much-anticipated film ‘Singham Again.’ This revelation comes just days after we reported that the talented actor would be joining Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe, setting the stage for an epic collaboration. However, it seems destiny had other plans as Vicky faced an unavoidable clash of shooting dates between ‘Singham Again’ and his period-era project ‘Chhawa.’
According to a reliable source close to the film, Vicky Kaushal was eager to embark on a new venture with the celebrated filmmaker Rohit Shetty. The actor had already prepared for his role as Bajirao Singham’s younger brother and was all set to dive into the world of a full-fledged masala entertainer. However, fate intervened when the shooting schedule of ‘Singham Again’ overlapped with that of ‘Chhawa,’ a movie where Vicky Kaushal dons a look that belongs to a different era.
“Vicky Kaushal was very keen to do a front-footed mass film for Rohit Shetty and had already finalized his look for Singham Again. But the shooting dates of Singham Again are clashing with the shooting dates of Chhawa. He has a certain look in the guise of the period era and that cannot be replicated in a modern film like SINGHAM AGAIN,” the insider revealed.
Vicky Kaushal With Hopeless
Despite the best efforts to find a solution, the conflicting dates left Vicky Kaushal with no choice but to make the tough call of leaving ‘Singham Again.’ As a thorough professional, Vicky personally conveyed his predicament to Rohit Shetty, who understood and respected the actor’s decision.
The untimely development is particularly disheartening as the filmmaker had grand plans for ‘Singham Again,’ envisioning a power-packed ensemble cast that included Ajay Devgan, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, and Vicky Kaushal. Each actor had allocated their dates for October, but Vicky’s commitments to ‘Chhawa’ during the same period made it challenging to reshuffle the schedules.
The source further divulged, “Rohit wanted to shoot with Ajay, Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, and Vicky together. While everyone has allotted their dates for October, Vicky is busy shooting for Chhawa those days. It would have been difficult to reschedule everyone’s dates for the shoot. Everyone is saddened by the coup in this casting. But both Vicky and Rohit Shetty decided to go ahead for a possible collaboration in the future together.”
As fans come to terms with this unexpected change, there is still some excitement to hold on to. Alongside Ajay Devgan, the stunning Deepika Padukone is all set to take on the role of ‘Lady Singham’ in the film. The prospect of witnessing this dynamic duo on the silver screen promises an electrifying experience for audiences.
