Word on the street is that Tara Sutaria has replaced Kiara Advani in producer Murad Khetani’s next, Apurva. Considering Kiara was the leading lady in the Murad-backed Kabir Singh (2019), she was the producer’s first choice for the woman-centric thriller. However, it is being said that Kiara and her team felt that with several big projects in her kitty, the relatively small-budget film didn’t fit into the scheme of things. So, she respectfully opted out, even though she liked the script. Her exit has turned out to be a major gain for Tara, whose roles have largely been restricted to the heroes’ romantic interest. She would do well to give a rest to the actioners and shoulder a film.
