Irrfan Khan opts out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Gustakhiyan’? Here’s the truth

Mumbai: Speculations were rife that Irrfan Khan had opted out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Gustakhiyan’, a film based on legendary lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi. And to put all rumours to rest, Irrfan has clarified his stance.

Talking about the rumours and his involvement, Irrfan said in a statement: "I'm not sure where these rumours are coming from. I was approached for the film almost two years back, but since then there's been no conversation on dates, so how does the question of me not having time or walking out of the film even come from?"

"I think that's a mystery I would first like to solve that who are these well-wishers who are speaking my mind without me even being aware."

‘Gustakhiyan’ has reportedly been offered to Priyanka Chopra for Amrita Pritam’s role.

However, the makers of the film have remained tight-lipped and haven’t divulged details about the same.
