The much-awaited film Bole Chudiyan, starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui, has finally got a new heroine. Yes, you read that right! According to a report in Pinkvilla, the producers have finalised a new heroine, who is kept under wraps. Earlier, the makers had roped in Mouni Roy to play the female lead opposite Nawazuddin, but the actress walked out of the film as she felt that there were several discrepancies in the contract. However, the producer Rajesh Bhatia had to say otherwise and even called her unprofessional. Now that a new actress has been signed for the film, the shooting of the film will kick-start as planned. Mouni Roy Exits Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Bole Chudiyan; Producer Calls Her Unprofessional and Irresponsible

Touted to be a romantic, quirky comedy, Bole Chudiyan is being bankrolled producer Rajesh Bhatia and Kiran Bhatia of Woodpecker Movies, who are also producing Nawazuddin’s upcoming release, Motichoor Chaknachoor. Nawazuddin will be playing the lead role of a ‘passionate lover’ in brother Shamas Nawab Siddiqui’s debut film.

Meanwhile, talking about Mouni, producer Bhatia had told the tabloid, "We deny anyone has been rude to Mouni. There were 25 people in the conference room when she walked in 3 hours late for a reading. In fact, she has been irresponsible and busy holidaying and attended only one and a half days of reading." Bole Chudiyan First Look: Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mouni Roy Soak in Simplicity and Make an Interesting Pair in This Romantic Drama

He further added, "We have invested a big amount of money and if asking someone in a civil manner to be professional and committed to the role is being rude then sorry, we are in the serious business of making movies with high stakes and it’s not a hobby. From the time we have signed her, she has been highly unprofessional and irresponsible."

On the professional front, Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be soon seen in Motichoor Chaknachoor, where the actor will be sharing screen space with Athiya Shetty. The film is scheduled to hit the big screens in October, this year. After Thackeray, Nawazuddin Siddiqui To Play Passionate Lover in Brother Shamas Nawab Siddiqui’s Debut ‘Bole Chudiyan’
