In a recent interview, actor Bakhtiyar Irani revealed that he was initially cast in Sara Ali Khan's film 'Ae Watan Mere Watan', directed by Kannan Iyer and produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions. However, he was later replaced by another actor, leaving him heartbroken.

Irani shared that he was approached by the director and was thrilled to be a part of the project. He even lost 8 kg in a month and a half to fit into the role. However, just as he was about to sign the contract, he was informed that the role had been given to someone else.

The actor expressed his disappointment and shock, stating that he had even shared the news with his family and friends, only to be let down. He had been cast as a Parsi boy in the film and had prepared extensively for the role.

Irani revealed that he was replaced by actor Anand Tiwari, who has now directed the upcoming film 'Bad News' starring Vikky Kaushal and Tripti Dimri. Irani expressed his sadness and frustration, stating that he had been looking forward to working with Karan Johar and the team.

The actor's revelation has left fans surprised, as 'Ae Watan Mere Watan' was a highly anticipated film that premiered on Amazon Prime Video. Sara Ali Khan's performance in the film received critical acclaim, but Bakhtiyar Irani's absence from the project has left many wondering what could have been.

Irani's experience serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of the film industry, where roles can be snatched away at the last minute. Despite his disappointment, the actor remains optimistic and is looking forward to his next project.
