A few days back, reports surfaced that Kriti Kharbanda who is currently basking the success of Housefull 4, was asked to exit Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi starrer Chehre due to her 'tantrums', and her team's mismanagement of dates. Recently, a leading entertainment portal suggests that now producer Anand Pandit is in talks with Maniknarika actress Ankita Lokhande to cast her in the film. Reportedly, Lokhande loved the story idea and gave a verbal nod. However, one cannot be sure as no contract has yet been signed.
