While speculations were rife that Dulquer Salmaan will be starring in Manmarziyan, directed by Anurag Kashyap, latest reports say that Abhishek Bachchan has replaced Dulquer in the film.

According to sources, the makers have finally decided on Abhishek Bachchan for the lead role. To be produced by Aanand L Rai, the film will also have Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kausal in significant roles. The buzz is that the first schedule of Manmarziyan will soon begin in Kashmir.

Dulquer Salman, who will make his Bollywood debut alongside Irffan Khan in Karwan, has recently completed shooting for the Tamil-Telugu bilingual Mahanati, in which he will be seen playing legendary actor Gemini Ganesan. He also has Ra Karthik’s Tamil film, which is said to be a travelogue, in the pipeline.

The actor's last release was Solo, which bombed at the box office.
