Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan was all set to star in JP
Dutta's war movie Paltan. But, later on, it came as a shocker when the actor
backed out of the movie.
Associated to it, JP's daughter Nidhi Dutta specified,
"Abhishek Bachchan is no longer part of Paltan for personal reasons best
known to him. It has come as a shock to us as this happened less than 24 hours
before our unit left to shoot in Ladakh. But we also believe that; especially
in the movies we make, it's the soldiers sitting up there that choose who will
play them and recreate their lives on screen. Nevertheless, we wish him luck in
his future endeavours. We are already in Ladakh filming with our entire cast
and crew and Army personnel. We will announce the actor who is replacing
Abhishek in the film soon."
There were numerous news making the rounds about Abhishek backing
out of the project. Speaking about it, a source previously told to a daily,
"Abhishek was quite kicked about Paltan. However, he realised after a
while that Sonu Sood had more screen space than him. That bothered him
considerably. When he discussed his apprehensions with Dutta, he told him that
while Sonu had more screen time, it was Abhishek who had a better character
written for him. Dutta could not convince him and he backed out at the end
minute."
But, when lately Abhishek was questioned about the same, he
gave the reason to a tabloid, "Sadly, things did not work out for me, and
I couldn’t be a part of the film. But he’s the best, and I wish him best luck.
I’m sure he will make a fantastic movie."
Abhishek was substituted by Harshvardhan Rane in Paltan.
