After giving a powerful performance in Hansal Mehta’s Chhalaang Rajkummar Rao is all set for his upcoming film Hum Do Hamare Do. Helmed by Dinesh Vijan, the actor will be seen opposite Kriti Sanon in this film. After doing Bareili Ki Barfi together, the pair will again collaborate in this one. The movie was supposed to cast Dimple Kapadia and Paresh Rawal in pivotal roles, but now according to latest news, Dimple has refused to be a part of the project and she will be replaced by Ratna Pathak Shah.

As per a report, “Hum Do Humare Do was expected to go on floors around April-May this year but Covid played spoilsport and the schedules were cancelled. Now, the team has finally begun shooting and filming in Chandigarh, with the lead cast present.”

The report added, “Hum Do Humare Do is about a married couple whose lives completely topple after they adopt parents. Previously, Dimple Kapadia and Paresh Rawal were supposed to play the adopted maa-baap in the film but now, we hear that Dimple has politely exited the film. In her place, Ratna Pathak Shah has been brought on board for the same role.”

The report also said that Dimple was not keen to start shooting for the film before some vaccine for coronavirus comes out, “While the world is waiting for a Covid vaccine, several producers decided to go ahead and resume work on their already-announced films. When Dinu decided to get Hum Do Humare Do on the floors from October, the veteran actress expressed her concerns and wasn’t too keen to shoot before a vaccine arrived.”

The report continues further, “They amicably parted ways and Dinu who shares a warm bond with Dimple and have just worked on Angrezi Medium, plans to sign another film with her later. When they were looking for a strong actress to completely tap into the role, they couldn’t think of anyone but Ratna Pathak Shah. She loved the idea and signed it on the dotted line. Currently, she is also in Chandigarh shooting for Hum Do Humare Do.”
