Bollywood star kid Sara Ali Khan revealed that she asked the director of ‘Atrangi Re’ to replace her in the film.
In a recent promotional outing for her upcoming web film ‘Gaslight’ with an Indian tabloid, Khan recalled when she asked filmmaker Aanand L. Rai to replace her in his movie ‘Atrangi Re’ after two consecutive flops.

“I called him and said, ‘Listen do you want to replace me because I don’t think I can handle a film like this’,” Khan said, before adding the advice she received from Rai in return.
“He told me, ‘If you fall, you do not just have to get up, but you also have to get up and run because this is the kind of film that either you can play on the back foot or you can give it your all to, and I really urge you to do the latter’,” she quoted the filmmaker.
Moreover, Khan also admitted to her personality changes after the failure of ‘Love Aaj Kal’ and ‘Coolie No. 1’. “There is a difference between being candid and being gregarious, I very often crossed that line,” she told the interviewer.
“It won’t be false to say I was in a la-la land in 2019, which is why my work was not rooted in reality, even sometimes, my behaviour was not rooted in reality,” Khan added.
Sara Ali Khan admits being ‘loud and attention seeking’
‘Atrangi Re’, a fantasy romcom flick directed by Aanand L. Rai and written by Himanshu Sharma, starred Khan with A-list actors Akshay Kumar and Dhanush. The film had a direct-to-digital release on the OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Khan has a packed slate with ‘Gaslight’, ‘Ae Watan Mere Watan’, and ‘Murder Mubarak’ in addition to untitled projects by Laxman Utekar and Jagan Shakti.
The murder mystery, ‘Gaslight’, starring Sara Ali Khan with Vikrant Massey and Chitrangada Singh, will premiere on the OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar on March 31.
