Esha Gupta roped in to play Arjun Rampal's wife in Paltan.

JP Dutta directorial titled Paltan is a
multistarrer project starring Suniel Shetty,
Arjun Rampal, Harshvardhan Rane, Luv Sinha
and others in the lead. Now, as per reports
in a leading tabloid, one more actor has
been added to the cast.
Stunning Esha Gupta is all set to play the role
of Arjun's wife in Paltan. This will be their
second outing after six years as they
worked together as a married couple in
Prakash Jha's Chakravyuh. Talking about the
project, Esha stated to the tabloid, "The
film's publicist, who also happens to be my
publicist, spoke to me about this role a while
ago. It's an honour to be working with
Dutta sir. His love for the country and
passion for cinema is evident in his films."
Paltan is based against the backdrop of
Indian-Sino war of 1962.
Earlier, Abhishek Bachchan was supposed to
be one of the leads in Paltan. But, the actor
backed out at the last minute. Related to it,
JP's daughter Nidhi Dutta stated, "Abhishek
Bachchan is no longer part of Paltan for
personal reasons best known to him. It has
come as a shock to us as this happened less
than 24 hours before our unit left to shoot
in Ladakh. But we also believe that;
especially in the movies we make, it's the
soldiers sitting up there that choose who
will play them and recreate their lives on
screen. Nevertheless, we wish him luck in
his future endeavours. We are already in
Ladakh filming with our entire cast and
crew and Army personnel. We will announce
the actor who is replacing Abhishek in the
film soon."
However, when recently Abhishek was
quizzed about the same, he gave the reason
to a leading daily, "Sadly, things did not
work out for me, and I couldn't be a part of
the film. But he's the best, and I wish him
best luck. I'm sure he will make a fantastic
movie."
