Sara Ali Khan has declined the offer to play the female lead opposite Sidharth Malhotra in the upcoming folk thriller VVAN – Force of the Forest. As reported by veteran film journalist Vickey Lalwani, Sara was not satisfied with her role and, therefore, politely turned it down.
Directed by Arunabh Kumar and Deepak Kumar Mishra, VVAN – Force of the Forest is being produced by Balaji Motion Pictures and TVF Motion Pictures. The film, set in a unique folk thriller backdrop, is slated for a grand release during Chhath 2025. With Sara’s exit, the makers are now on the lookout for a new leading lady.
