After Parineeti Chopra's exit from Ajay Devgn starrer Bhuj: The Pride Of India, there were reports that Rana Daggubati, who was supposed to portray the role of a lieutenant colonel of Madras Regiment, opted out of the film due to health issues. And today, Mumbai Mirror reported that Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior actor Sharad Kelkar has been roped in to play the role of a lieutenant colonel of Madras Regiment.

 

Sharad said that Bhuj has a lot of action, and since Rana might take a couple of months to recover, Abhishek offered Sharad to play this part. He told Abhishek that he would love to be a part of his debut film. The actor further said that he shares a great bond with Ajay Devgn and Sanjay Dutt as well.
