Rana Daggubatti bows out of Bhuj?
According to a report in a leading daily, Rana Daggubati has opted out of Bhuj: The Pride of India. In the film, the actor was supposed to portray the character of a lieutenant colonel of the Madras regiment. The report claims that Rana opted out of the film due to health concerns. The movie required Rana to perform some high-octane action scenes. According to the report, the makers tried their best to let Daggubati remain a part of the film and also tried to shoot the action scenes with a body double. Unfortunately, the makers had to finally agree to let Rana opt-out of the film.
Reports also claim that Rana Daggubati bowed out of Bhuj: The Pride of India because of date issues. The actor's schedule, which was supposed to start in October, got delayed. Daggubati is also promoting the movie Hiranyakashyap, which is his upcoming film.
After Parineeti Chopra opted out of the war dram because of other work commitments, the report also claimed that Nora Fatehi will be roped in for the role.
In his first look from Bhuj, Ajay Devgn can be seen dressed in the uniform of the Indian airforce. The actor looks smart and impressive in the role of Squadron Leader Vijay Karnik. Ajay Devgn's first look was revealed by director Abhishek Dudhaiya.
