Lalkaara has undergone a major casting change, with Farhan Akhtar exiting the sports drama due to scheduling conflicts with Neeraj Pandey's RD Burman biopic. Sidhant Gupta has joined the cast, while the film, based on the 1952 India-Pakistan Test series, begins shooting on October 1
Aamir Khan and Ashutosh Gowariker's much-awaited sports drama Lalkaara has reportedly undergone a casting change. Farhan Akhtar is no longer a part of the film, with actor Sidhant Gupta stepping in to replace him.
According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, Farhan Akhtardecided to exit the project due to scheduling conflicts with his upcoming film on the life of legendary music composer RD Burman, directed by Neeraj Pandey.
The report states that Farhan will need to devote several months to preparing for the demanding biopic, making it difficult to balance both projects. At the same time, Lalkaara also required extensive cricket training and a long shooting schedule. As a result, the actor reportedly chose to prioritise the RD Burman film and amicably stepped away from the sports drama.
Despite exiting the cast, Farhan continues to be associated with Lalkaara as a producer. The film is being backed by Excel Entertainment, led by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani, in collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani Films.
