Loss for Queen? Zareen Khan replaces Kangana Ranaut in this upcoming movie starring Irrfan Khan

Mumbai: Actress Zareen Khan has been roped in for director Sai Kabir's upcoming film "Divine Lovers" starring internationally acclaimed Indian actor Irrfan Khan. The film was intially offered to Kangana Ranaut.

Confirming the news, Kabir said in a statement:

"Yes it is true. She fit the bill perfectly as we wanted a girl with Pathani looks."

Kangana was looking forward to start shoot with Irrfan but somehow the dates never matched and the film couldn’t take off.
