Ananya Panday, who was eagerly anticipated to star opposite Abhay Verma in the upcoming sci-fi comedy "Choomantar," has unexpectedly walked out of the project citing date clashes. This sudden development has left fans curious and the filmmakers scrambling to find a fitting replacement for the promising Maddock Films venture. Reports suggest that actresses Sreeleela and Janki Bodiwala are likely contenders to take on Ananya's role, ensuring filming can continue smoothly without major delays[4]. "Choomantar," directed by Tarun Dudeja, marks a fresh genre-bending addition to Bollywood as a sci-fi comedy blending romance and humor. The film was initially set to begin shooting by the end of 2025, with Ananya Panday teaming up with Abhay Verma, who rose to fame with his hit debut "Munjya." This pairing was highly anticipated as it would mark Ananya's first collaboration with the reputed producer Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films[1][2][3]. Ananya's exit is reportedly due to overlapping commitments, reflective of her busy schedule with multiple projects across different banners. Meanwhile, Sreeleela and Janki Bodiwala stepping in could bring fresh energy and anticipation to "Choomantar," keeping the momentum alive for this genre-defying entertainer[4]. If you've been following the buzz around "Choomantar" or are a fan of Ananya Panday and Abhay Verma, what are your thoughts on this casting change?
