Has Manish Paul replaced Ali Fazal in Baa Baa Black Sheep?

Here's some unexpected development that our source indicates has transpired in Vishwaas Pandya's Baa Baa Black Sheep. Ali Fazal who was signed on to play the lead in the movie, our source says, is on his way out of the project. And replacing Ali is TV host and actor Manish Paul who is apparently strongly being considered and has almost signed the dotted lines. While reasons behind Ali's removal is yet not clear, we dialled up with Manish to check whether he has indeed inked the deal. After hearing us out, Manish's first reaction was a surprised 'Who told you this?' On informing that we have our sources, Manish said, "No not yet." When asked if he is in talks with the makers of the film, Manish said, " No, abhi tak aisa kuch bhi nahi hai. Still waiting. But kisne bataya aapko?" The 'still waiting' bit made us wonder if Manish had already initiated priliminary talks with the producers but the actor laughed it off saying, " You are putting words in my mouth but nothing like that. I just hope whatever news your source gave you turns out to be true." Meanwhile we texted Ali Fazal to check if he is indeed out of the project and this is what Ali had to say in his reply. "No nothing like that and not anything that I know of. The project has got shifted ahead so I can be a part of Khamoshiyan promotions. I would like to think that I am very much a part of the movie." Well, the coming days would give us a clear picture, we are sure. Written and directed by Vishwaas Pandya , Baa Baa Black Sheep is a black comedy and also has veteran actors Anupam Kher and Annu Kapoor in prominent roles.
