    Ali Fazal replaces Arjun Rampal in Pooja Bhatt’s ‘Love Affair’

    MUMBAI: Actor Ali Fazal seems to be in the Bhatts’ favourite list. Last seen in Mahesh Bhatt’s Khamoshiyan, the actor has now replaced actor Arjun Rampal in filmmaker Pooja Bhatt’s next production venture titled Love Affair.

     

    Written and directed by Soni Razdan, the movie also stars Kalki Koechlin and Gulshan Devaiah along with Monica Dongra. It is jointly being produced by Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series and Bhatt’s Fish Eye Network.

     

    The film is about infidelity in marriage. Fazal will be playing the husband married to Koechlin, whereas Devaiah will be seen as the lover. Dongra is playing the role of the sister. It is rumoured that the film is loosely based on the real life case of 1959, probably the first passion crime reported in the pages of crime.

     

    Confirming the news Fazal said, “Yes I have been approached for the part in what I call the wee hours of the movie’s commencement, to replace Arjun Rampal due to some issues. I read the part and said yes immediately. It’s a challenging role, so I am still waking from the reality of it. Moreover I have already immersed in the looks and costumes of the film because there is very little time to prepare.”
