After announcing that he was ready to go butt naked for Hate Story 3, Sharman Joshi dropped out of the film, to be replaced by Khamoshiyaan actor Gurmeet Choudhary. Now Mirror has learnt that Sharman is in and Gurmeet is out. Vishal Pandya, the film's director, confirmed the news and when asked why he'd chosen to return to Sharma after saying he "didn't fit the role", Vishal says, "Sometimes you take a wrong decision in a hurry. That's exactly what happened. The film was getting delayed and Sharman had date issues. Also, while working on the third draft of the script, I felt that Sharman wasn't the right choice for the role and so decided to cast Gurmeet believing that since he's a new face it would help my movie. Eventually I realised that I need a performer and that's why we approached Sharman again. Luckily, he agreed and the date issues too were sorted out."

The film also features 'body beautiful' Karan Singh Grover and with Sharman promising to shed his inhibitions with his clothes, will we see more of the guys than the girls in the third edition of the franchise? "All I can say is that if one strips, the other has to as well. Since there are four actors in Part 3, there will definitely be more of everything," Vishal smiles.

The erotic revenge thriller will roll in July. It will be shot extensively in Fiji. Some parts will also be filmed in Mumbai.
