It’s known to all that Jackky Bhagnani replaced Irrfan Khan at the eleventh hour for WELCOME TO KARACHI. A tabloid recently published a news story in which Arshad Warsi was quoted saying that he wished Irrfan was a part of the film. But at the trailer launch of the film, Arshad clarified that he never said anything like that.

“I never said that Irrfan was a better choice or he should have been in the film. I said Irrfan is a different actor. I also never said that Lauren Gottieb is not the heroine of the film,” said the actor.

So were there any changes in the plot, with Jackky replacing Irrfan? “One has to obviously do that once your actor changes. Irrfan is a more mature actor while Jackky is a young actor. Jackky brings a whole amount of youth in the film. So one had to incorporate that in his performance and in his character. It was obvious and natural,” stated Arshad.
Directed by Ashish Mohan, WELCOME TO KARACHI is scheduled to release on 21st May, 2015.
