<\/p>\nIn a surprising turn of events, Saif Ali Khan has reportedly walked out of filmmaker Sneha Taurani\u2019s upcoming project, just days before the film\u2019s shoot was scheduled to begin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
SCOOP: Did Sunny Kaushal replace Saif Ali Khan in Ramesh Taurani\u2019s daughter Sneha Taurani\u2019s film last minute?<\/p>\n
The actor, who had officially committed to the project and even attended its mahurat ceremony on October 27, 2025, has now opted out, leaving the makers and producers scrambling for a replacement.<\/p>\n
A source close to the development revealed, \u201cHe didn\u2019t feel it was the right film for him to do,\u201d though the decision came much later than expected, creating last-minute challenges for the team.<\/p>\n
The film was being produced by Ramesh Taurani, one of Bollywood\u2019s most established producers, who has earlier collaborated with Saif on blockbusters like Race, Race 2, and BhootPolice (2021). He even did Kya Kehna produced by Ramesh Taurani in 2000, the two go back a long way.
Reportedly, Ramesh Taurani wasted no time and has now cast Sunny Kaushal in the role originally meant for Saif. Kaushal reunites with director Sneha Taurani after their 2020 film Bhangra Paa Le.<\/p>\n
Industry insiders say Taurani is \u201cdeeply upset\u201d with Saif\u2019s last-minute withdrawal and is unlikely to work with the actor again, casting doubt over Saif\u2019s participation in Race 4 and Bhoot Police 2.<\/p>\n
At a time when the industry is grappling with mounting losses, actors backing out of confirmed projects has become a worrying trend, putting additional strain on producers and release schedules.<\/p>\n
Bollywood Hungama reached out to Saif Ali Khan and Ramesh Taurani at the time of publishing, but both did not comment.<\/p>\n
