Saif replaces Ajay in Jha's next

After Ajay Devgn walked out of Prakash Jha's Aarakshan, Saif Ali Khan has taken his place.

Incidentally, Ajay had some issues with Jha over the role he was playing in the film that also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Manoj Bajpai and Deepika Padukone.

Our source said, "Ajay Devgn and Jha have worked together in three films back to back. However, this film won't have Ajay.

After Ajay walked out of the project, Jha was in a fix, as he had to sign a replacement soon for the film's shooting schedule was supposed to start in February, next year.

Thankfully, Saif, whose film Two States did not work out, had bulk dates to spare. So he was roped in.

Saif plays a complicated yet a vital character in the film." However, both Prakash Jha and he remained unavailable for comments.
