Riteish Deshmukh lets go of Dada Kondke biopic?
It was reported a while back that Riteish Deshmukh would be essaying the role of Dada Kondke on the big screen. However, now it seems the actor has let go of the project.
���The makers had approached Riteish for the titular role and given him a bound script of the film apart from a book on Kondke. He was really enthused about the biopic then and had orally committed to them about doing the film. But now he doesn�۪t want to be a part of it. He has excused himself by saying that his date diary is packed at the moment,� said a source to Mid-Day.
It seems makers of the film are now on the search for another actor, ���The script was locked and Riteish was excited about what would have been his first biopic. Now the casting process has to be started again and as soon as things are finalised, an official announcement will be made.�
Akshay Kumar is due to co-produce the film about the life of the popular Marathi actor.
