Post Sanjay Dutt's Exit, Amitabh Bachchan Roped In For Siddharth Anand's Badlaa!

Siddharth Anand's Badlaa has gone through many changes ever since it was announced it last year along with KriArj Entertainment and Zee Studios.

Initially the movie was to star Sanjay Dutt and Kriti Sanon. However now, Amitabh Bachchan has replaced Sanjay Dutt and he is looking to choose between Disha Patani and Kriti Sanon as the female lead.

Buzz is that the 'Bang Bang' recently narrated the script to Big B who loved the concept and agreed to come on board. Now the dates and remuneration are being worked out with him. Once that is finalised an announcement is expected to be made soon.

Badlaa was to hit the shooting floors in July 2016. However the film kept on getting shelved till finally Dutt opted out of it last year due to creative differences. Reportedly, the actor had not liked the script and found it too westernized for Indian audiences. The story revolves around an older man and younger woman. It was touted as the actor's comeback film, post his release from jail and Sanju had even bulked up for it and undergone fitness training for it.

Meanwhile, Big B will also be seen in Ramgopal Verma's Sarkar 3.
