Parth Samthaan's exit from Kasautii Zindagii Kay is being attributed to his Bollywood aspirations. Unit sources say that the actor has been claiming that he has landed a plum role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi, which stars Alia Bhatt.

Samthaan, who plays Anurag Basu on Ekta Kapoor's show, always wanted to be on the big screen. For a while now, he had been expressing his desire to quit television. We heard that Parth has been telling unit folk that he has to start prep for the film as soon as possible.
