Ayushmann Khurrana has been replaced by brother Aparshakti
Khurrana in Happy Bhaag Jayegi sequel titled as Happy Bhaag Jayegi Returns. As stated
by a tabloid, Ayushmann was offered to essay the lead role in the sequel. But,
due to date issues, Ayushmann said no to the offer.
Hence, the makers roped in his brother to essay the male
lead.
A source revealed, "Aparshakti is doing the Happy Bhaag
Jayegi sequel now. He is doing the bhajan based reality show, Om Shanti Om, as
well, so he has worked his dates out in a way that he can shoot Happy Bhaag
Jayegi Returns without causing any delay."
The film also stars Sonakshi Sinha and Diana Penty in lead
roles. The film has already gone on floors last month.
A source revealed the daily that Ayushmann had no role in
letting the role go to his brother. The source specified, "It wasn’t an
instant call. But everyone was keen on Ayushmann. And Aparshakti also brings
the same energy to the character. So they offered him the role. Ayushmann
didn’t refer his brother at all. It was a call that the producers took themselves.
Aparshakti will soon begin shooting his portions for the comedy film."
Presently, Ayushmann is working on Sriram Raghavan’s
thriller, Shoot The Piano Player which will see the actor play a visually
challenged pianist.
