Jackky Bhagnani: I can never replace Irrfan Khan

Actor Jackky Bhagnani stepped into Irrfan Khan’s shoes for Welcome To Karachi after Khan left the movie due to other commitments. But the young actor didn’t think he could replace the veteran.

“I feel Irrfan sir is a supreme actor. I can never replace him. I’m a big fan of him,” Bhagnani said during the trailer launch of Welcome To Karachi.

Directed by Ashish R. Mohan, Welcome To Karachi also features Arshad Warsi and Lauren Gottlieb. The film is slated for a May 21 release.

Once Bhagnani became a part of the film, a few scenes were changed.

Explaining that, Warsi said: “Irrfan was a more mature actor. Jackky is a younger actor... and so you have to incorporate [the changes] in the film.”
