Saif Ali Khan replace Fawad Khan

We all know that now a Pakistani artiste won’t be working in a Bollywood film. Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ starred Fawad Khan in a small yet a pivotal role. And there were reports that the filmmaker has roped in the Pakistani actor for one of his production ventures titled ‘Raat Baki’.

According to reports, Katrina Kaif was roped in to play the female lead. However, as now Fawad Khan won’t be doing the film, there’s a buzz that the makers have approached Saif Ali Khan to play the male lead.

It is said that Karan wanted Sidharth Malhotra to play the role, but as ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ didn’t work well at the box office, he changed his decision and opted for Saif Ali Khan.

If sources are to be believed, Karan has already narrated the script to Saif, and the actor has liked it.

Well, if Saif comes on board for the film, this will be the third time we will get to his pairing with Katrina, after ‘Race’ and ‘Phantom’.
