Sharad Kelkar Replaces Rana Daggubati In Ajay Devgn Starrer Bhuj: The Pride Of India

Rana Daggubati, who was playing a key role in Bhuj: The Pride Of India, has opted out of the Ajay Devgn starrer due to health issues and the makers have now replaced him with Sharad Kelkar.

Rana was playing a lieutenant colonel of Madras regiment in the movie. Since his role involved a lot of action and it would take him another couple of months to recover, he bowed out of the project and then Sharad was roped in. Sharad is getting glowing reviews for his portrayal of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior and this will be his second film with Ajay after the period drama.

Earlier Parineeti Chopra, who was supposed to play the female protagonist, also exited the movie due to her busy schedule and was replaced by Nora Fatehi.
