Tahir Raj Bhasin Replaces Pakistani Actor Ali Zafar In Dear Zindagi
The source also added, “Yesterday, a dance shoot was underway of the film with Alia Bhatt and Tahir. It’s an Arijit Singh number.” The India-Pakistan unrest is the reason why Ali Zafar is opt out from the project.
It all started after the Uri Attack when a total of 20 Indian soldiers died in Terrorist attack. Soon, Political Party MNS demanded a complete ban on Pakistani actors in India. This led to a major brawl between the Cinema artists in both the countries. After this, Pakistan decided a complete ban on Indian movies and Indian TV serials. In reply to this, Indian Motion Picture Producers Association (IMPPA) decided that they will not work with any Pakistani artists until the situation gets normal.
Overall, Director Gauri Shinde didn’t want any issues with her movie Dear Zindagi and that’s the reason why Ali Zafar is out from the cast.
