Irrfan Khan wishes Jackky Bhagnani the best

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 13 September 2014 | 21.44

Following the speculation and controversy surrounding the casting of Vashu Bhagnani's Welcome to Karachi, it's now been confirmed that his son Jackky will replace Irrfan in the film.

Jackky left for London on Friday to team up with Arshad Warsi as the parallel lead. The shoot of the film, we hear, began on the same day.

An insider revealed, "The script needs to undergo some changes as there is a huge age gap between Irrfan and Jackky and that is being worked out."

Director Ashish R Mohan confirmed Jackky's entry to the project as an actor but stated there won't be a major change in the script. "We didn't have to change much. We have just tweaked a little. Also it was Jackky who recommended the script to Vashuji, so he knows about it."

Without sounding surprised, a source close to the development added, "It was a pre-planned decision. Irrfan's exit was a ploy to get Jackky on board. How can they possibly go to London before finalizing the cast?"

However, Ashish dismissed the claims saying, "It was never pre-planned. I had to convince Jackky to do the film. We spoke to him only on the night of the Mahurat (5th Sep). Replacing someone as talented as Irrfan is not easy. We had thought of Rajkummar Rao and Ayushmann Khurrana as well but we had to get rolling and on such a short notice, we couldn't think of anyone else."

"Besides, the shoot has been delayed by a day", reasoned a unit hand.

About Irrfan, the director said he did try to convince him to stay. "I tried but he wasn't convinced. He is a very senior actor and I respect his decision."

Irrfan too wants to puts this controversy behind him. He said, "I wish Jackky the best. Every actor brings something new to the table. I just wonder why Vashuji came up with a negative story, which was not true. I wish him luck nonetheless." The actor chose not to comment on whether he will work with the producer in future.
