Shahid Kapoor steps in as the new lead for Vishal Bhardwaj's "Arjun Ustra" replacing Kartik Aaryan

Bollywood's heartthrob Shahid Kapoor has stepped in to replace Kartik Aaryan in Vishal Bhardwaj's much-anticipated film, "Arjun Ustra". Initially Kartik Aaryan roped in for this particular project but his recent release "Chandu Champion" failed to make an expected impact in the box office.

The "Jersey" actor will now be playing the lead of this ambitious project of Vishal Bhardwaj. Earlier Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bharadwaj teamed up for "Kaminey and Haider". Now this box office debacle of Kartik Aaryan has once again made them come together. According to the reports, Vishal Bharadwaj and the producers are enthusiastic about casting Shahid Kapoor for his immense versatility.

Despite the setback with Chandu Champion, the "Bhool Bhulaiyaa" star Kartik Aaryan remains one of Bollywood's most sought-after stars and is expected to bounce back with his upcoming projects.
