Actor Riteish Deshmukh replaces Kapil Sharma in 'Bank-Chor'.

Kapil Sharma, who was slated to make his Bollywood debut with Yash Raj Films' "Bank Chor", was out of the project, the production house had revealed via an official statement last Thursday. It was a mutual decision.

‘Bank Chor’ is scheduled to go on the floors immediately and is planned for an early 2015 release. The actor, known for his comedy films, was seen in a dark character of 'Rakesh Mahadkar' in the romantic thriller ‘Ek Villain’ which is doing well at the Box Office.

"Loved the script. Loved the character. Loved the team. I've always liked to push the envelope with the choices I make. This film allows me to potentially rip it apart. Watch out there's a new Bank-Chor in town," Riteish was quoted in a Times of India report.

There were reports that Kapil was caught in a quandary over how to balance his show and film. But it wasn’t clear why Kapil was no longer a part of "Bank Chor", a comic-caper.
The film tells the story of three men trying to rob a bank, how they choose the wrong day for the robbery, and how they're inadvertently caught in the cross fire between cops, industrialists and corrupt politicians.
Produced by Patil, the project will be helmed by Bumpy.
