The source continues, “The script will have to be rewritten to give more prominence to the other characters.. but without undermining Harman’s role.. lest he get upset.”



Taurani has denied approaching any actor, stating, “There is a character of Harman’s friend, but it’s a small role.. and not second fiddle. Yes, we do need to cast a known name for the negative role because the script demands that. So the question of reworking the script doesn’t arise…but who gave you this information anyway?”



Taurani says they film will roll next month, as soon as the cast, crew and locales are finalised.
