Sine when?

As others have said Ranveer didn’t kick anyone out. Deepika replacing Nushrat is a rumor, and one that more than likely is false anyway. KJo and Alia taking roles from others in at least two or three projects is more or less confirmed.

The Army takes over every freaking thread. Now every blind, gossip, article is blamed on RK. People here seem to have poor memory, only few yrs back DP was said t ohave the most active, vicious PR team, most actresses called her out for that. Par ab saare Bill RK pe phado kyunki army se kaun panga lega...

He used his power? What r u even talking? He grabbed the role even before Simmba even released. Why do u make a fool of urself and keep ur sense away to make him get trashed? The director was replaced. Earlier dir's choice was Randeep. After Kabhir Khan joined, his choice is Ranveer. Also must be production thing, earlier they thought it to be mid budget but then they needed to invest more money and better project so they brought Kabhir and with new risk it is Ranveer. He doesn't have that power LOL he isn't Salman, Shahrukh or Aamir or even Ranbir, Varun, Sid to get projects, it is all his hardwork, goodwill and trust he gained.

He is dir. So it is his choice. Randeep is one mad man. Before he involved in Kangana-Alia and now this.

We never thought of Randeep Hooda playing Kapil Dev, says '83 producer

Producer Vishnu Induri denies the actor was ever approached for '83 but acknowledges Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan’s role as story writer.

An image of Randeep Hooda in the look of Kapil Dev lifting the 1983 cricket World Cup surfaced yesterday which led to the obvious question: was Hooda in line to play the legendary cricketer in '83?

A source close to the actor said Hooda was the first choice for a film to be directed by Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan, but it got delayed. Then, once Kabir Khan came on as director, he decided to start afresh as he wanted a star to play the main role.

Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan refused to comment when contacted by Cinestaan.com.

In 2014, Chauhan, who had helmed Lahore (2010), was said to be making a film on Kapil Dev with Hooda in the lead. The project was being produced by Vishnu Induri, who is the primary producer of '83.

Speaking to Cinestaan.com, Induri denied Hooda was ever in the fray for Kapil Dev's role. “I have not seen the picture, but let me assure you Randeep Hooda was never in our mind. Randeep is a great actor, but we never dreamt of him in our film."

Induri did acknowledge Chauhan’s role in the film, however. “We share an amicable relationship with Sanjay Puran Singh Chauhan," he said. "He will be credited as story writer. But he was never supposed to direct it.

"We had a few faces in mind to play Kapil Dev, but nothing happened. Once Kabir Khan came on board as director, he pitched the film to Ranveer Singh. Ranveer was busy with prior commitments and so that's why we got delayed by over a year."

'83 is based on the Indian cricket team’s historic win at the 1983 World Cup in England. For Chauhan, this is the second big film whose reins are out of his hands. Chauhan was also supposed to direct Chanda Mama Door Ke with Sushant Singh Rajput but that project has also failed to take off.

Produced by Vishnu Induri and Madhu Mantena and distributed by Reliance Entertainment, '83 is scheduled for release on 10 April 2020. Reliance reportedly came on board as distributor after Kabir Khan and Ranveer Singh were signed.

So he was in the mind of story writer in the initial stages, that's it.

Randeep got his 4 days of fame.
