It is not unknown that Rhea Chakraborty, who was last seen in Bank Chor (2017), was roped in for National Award-winning director Irfan Kamal's upcoming film, starring Sooraj Pancholi in the lead. Titled Satellite Shankar, the film was supposed to feature Rhea in the role of a journalist and blogger. But now we hear that the actress is no more part of the film. Apparently, the makers decided to remove her after they learnt that she's been telling the media that she was cast as the female lead, which clearly wasn't the case.

A source informed a leading daily, "There’s another heroine opposite Sooraj. Rhea had a smaller role, but now she has been asked to leave the film. The movie’s makers are looking for a replacement currently and will soon announce the remaining cast."

Well, it looks like Rhea did fall prey to revealing too much at the wrong time.

The makers are still in the process to sign her up and they will make it official as soon as she comes on board. As far as Rhea's character is concerned, she is playing a blogger who has a couple of interesting encounters with the soldier during his journey from the North to the Southern end of India."
