Akshay Kumar has opted out of his mentor Suneel Darshan’s movie Barsaat. As a replacement Bobby Deol has been roped in his place.
While the reason for Akshay’s departure from the movie is said to be date problems, but there are sources saying that Akshay was wary of acting with Priyanka Chopra in the film following the recent spate of rumors of his non-existent romance with the actress.
One song sequence for the film was already shot with Akshay and Priyanka before the actor walked out.
Bobby Deol has been signed in as Akki’s replacement. Coincidentally, Bobby started his career with a film called Barsaat which co-starred Twinkle Khanna , who is now Akshay’s wife.
Shooting for Darshan’s Barsaat will begin on Oct 18 with a two-month schedule. The movie also stars Bipasha Basu who will work with Darshan for the first time.
Darshan hopes to start another project with Akshay and Bobby sometime next year.
