Fawad Khan has become one of Bollywood's most coveted actors with bigwigs waiting for their turn to rope in the superstar.

Rumours are abuzz that the Khoobsurat actor has replaced Hrithik Roshan in Zoya Akhtar's next directorial venture.

“She loved Fawad in Kapoor & Sons and decided to work with him right after watching the film. However, she never had him in mind while writing this film. When Hrithik said no, she was in need for a dashing hero who could also act well. Fawad totally fit the bill,” the source added.

However, Hrithik has denied the report saying, "I can never say no to Zoya. She has not offered me any film recently. But I am sure we’ll be working together soon again," Pinkvilla reported.

While, Fawad who's now among the A-listers of Bollywood revealed that he doesn't believe in competition.

He says he doesn't keep a check on what his contemporaries are doing but if he hears about a good film, he watches it, reports Times of India.

Asad | 7 years ago | Reply He has long way to be A lister. The only movies to his kitty are working with B lister Sonam Kapoor, who no A list actors wants to work, or playing gay character in another movie who nobody wants to play on screen. He is no match to Shaan who is both beauty and talent.
