We first mentioned Murad Khetani, the producer of Kabir Singh, acquiring the rights to the Tezaab starring Anil Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit back in 2021. In reality, Khetani wanted to remake the Kartik Aaryan and Shraddha Kapoor movie under his Cine 1 Studios company. In reality, a number of media reports suggested that the movie’s producers were in contact with the two. Now, however, according to Bollywood Hungama, the movie’s producers have actually contacted Ranveer Singh and Janhvi Kapoor to top-line the cast.
Providing information on the Tezaab remake’s casting, a reputable industry source exclusively discloses, “At first, Kartik Aaryan and Shraddha Kapoor were to be included. To approach Janhvi and Ranveer for the project, however, is what Murad Khetani and his team have now chosen to do.” When inquired about the reason behind the unexpected cast shift, the source responds, “Kartik and Shraddha were the front-runners for the project. But for whatever reason, the producers have now chosen to approach Ranveer Singh and Janhvi Kapoor for the same parts. In the beginning, the Tezaab remake producers had spoken with Ranveer first, and now they want Janhvi to play Shraddha instead.”
Although the Tezaab remake’s complete cast has not yet been confirmed, it will be exciting to watch Janhvi and Ranveer share the screen. In fact, this will be the first time these two will appear together in a movie, and based on their separate fan bases, it is certain to spark controversy.
