The makers of Umesh Shukla's
All is Well, with Abhishek Bachchan, Asin and Rishi Kapoor in the lead,
have decided to replace actor-turned-politician Smriti Irani as she
couldn't allot them any more dates after having shot for more than half
the film.
After canning major portions in Shimla and Bangkok, the makers have been waiting for the last six months for the Human Resources & Development Minister, to make time in her busy schedule to film the climax.
A source close to the unit told Mirror that shooting with a new actress will resume in January. “The film will be completely reshot. The makers are currently looking for Smriti's replacement as it is impossible to complete the film without her character. She plays Abhishek's mother in the film,“ the source said.
The film's producer Bhushan Kumar told Mirror, “With her job as Union Minister keeping her on her toes, it is impractical to wait for Smriti's dates. The parting of ways was amicable. The rest of the cast has also been understanding and have alloted fresh dates. We are hoping to release the film around June.“
