Contrary to rumours, actor Shehnaaz Gill is in no mood to ditch actor-producer Salman Khan’s next, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. A source close to the development calls these conjectures “absolutely baseless”.

In fact, we have learnt that she will be seen romancing singer-actor Jassie Gill in the film. “Shehnaaz is very much a part of the project. She is paired opposite Jassie and has a prominent role in the film. They have a cute story,” the source adds.

In the Farhad Samji directorial, actor Pooja Hegde will be seen opposite Khan while dancer-actor Raghav Juyal will romance actor Malvika Sharma.

Interestingly, before Jassie, Shehnaaz was expected to be seen alongside actor Aayush Sharma, who walked out of the film recently. “Technically, no one has replaced Aayush. That character has been rewritten. The makers are currently looking to lock an actor opposite (actor) Siddharth Nigam,” the source mentions.
