In 2013, National Award-winning actor Priyamani has replaced Keerthy Suresh in Amit Sharma’s Maidaan. Suresh, who was cast as the female lead opposite Ajay Devgn, has left the film after shooting for a day.
“The makers and Keerthy both felt that she looked too young as she had lost a lot of weight since being signed for the film to authentically portray the role of a mother as has been written in the script,” a statement read.
As such, both parties have amicably decided on Suresh not being a part of the film. Priyamani will play Syed Rahim’s wife. The actor recently marked her digital debut in Amazon Prime Video’s The Family Man.
