In the midst of reports of Kriti Sanon shuffling in and out of debutant director Tushar Hiranandani's upcoming sports drama Womaniya, comes news that Bhumi Pednekar has already taken her place. mid-day hears that Pednekar will replace Sanon to pair up with Taapsee Pannu in the film, based on octogenarian sharpshooters Chandro and Prakashi.

A source reveals that Sanon's chock-a-block diary is to blame for the film slipping out of her hands. "Kriti has her kitty full with Housefull 4, Panipat and Luka Chuppi. She was unable to shoot on the dates that the makers required. Hence, they are in talks with Bhumi."
