Anil was to play the lead in the movie ShortKut

ShortKut - The Con Is On is all set to release next Friday and the movie has managed to generate some hype around the release. Akshaye Khanna plays the lead in the movie. Actually, Anil Kapoor who is producing the movie was supposed to play the part but at the very last minute, he had to back out of the project.

There were two primary reasons as to why he backed out. First, the dates of the shoot were clashing with his other movie Tashan that was being shot at that time. Secondly, Subhash Ghai had asked him to play the lead in the movie Black & White. Having worked with the showman for so many years in movies like Ram Lakhan, Karma and Taal he just could not say no to him. The two will comeback after a long time to a movie.

Subhash Ghai had personally asked him to postpone ShortKut but Anil in no mood to do that let go the part. Now with Akshaye doing his part somebody had to be roped in to do Akshaye’s part so in came Arshad Warsi to play the bad actor who has all the stardom. Paresh Rawal was also asked to play the role of the secretary but he wanted to play Arshad’s part, which did not happen. Finally, his part went to Chunky Pandey.

There was lot of chopping and changing early on but everything settled then. Anil was confident that Akshaye would be able to play both the roles after having worked with him previously in projects like Taal and Gandhi My Father.
