Keerthy Suresh no longer part of Ajay Devgn starrer 'Maidaan'?

South Indian actor Keerthy Suresh, who was supposed to make her Bollywood debut with Badhai Ho fame Amit Sharma's Maidaan, has reportedly opted out of the film. According to a media report, the 27-year-old actor did not want to age on screen after her last film, Mahanati, that had Suresh playing the role of yesteryear actor Savitri.

Maidaan, starring Ajay Devgn, would have had Keerthy age on-screen, which made her uncomfortable. After a serious discussion with producer Boney Kapoor, Keerthy Suresh reportedly decided to opt-out of the film.
