Abhishek Bachchan no longer a part of ‘Gulab Jamun’ for ‘Paltan’?

Rumours are rife that Abhishek Bachchan will no longer be a part of Ronnie Screwvala’s next ‘Gulab Jamun’ opposite wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, due to date clashes with the shoot of JP Dutta’s next ‘Paltan’.

A source told Mid-Day, “The film was to roll in January 2018 because Irrfan is busy shooting for his next Hollywood film. Given that the film follows a group of men on a road trip, it relies on the camaraderie between the actors. Irrfan and Abhishek hit it off well when they met. But, last week, it was conveyed to us that Abhishek has pulled out of the film since the schedule, and the time he had to put in to prepare for the film, was clashing with the schedule of JP Dutta’s ‘Paltan’.”

It seems Akarsh Khurana has approached Ayushmann Khurrana for the rol. The source said, “Akarsh and writer Hussain Dalal have reached out to Ayushmann, but he is yet to sign on the dotted line.”
