Thursday, 10th July 2014, 05:00 PM IST After recent news that Kapil Sharma had walked out of Yash Raj Film’s ‘Bank Chor’, it has been revealed that Riteish Deshmukh will be replacing the comedian. YRF announced the same after deciding to scale up the project by bringing in Riteish who has one of the most successful track records in the industry. The film is set to go on floors immediately and will release in early 2015. "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 anew Bank-Chor in town!" Riteish said. Ashish Patil, Business & Creative Head, Youth Films,Brand Partnerships & Talent Management at Yash Raj Films, said,"Riteish is one of the most exciting actors of today. From villainy to action in his upcoming ‘Lai Bhaari’, there's nothing he can't do! And with ‘Bank Chor’, Riteish is in a zone that's a serious strength - comedy!He adds the scale, madness and weight that this project deserves. The audiences are in for one hell of a ride now!" After being appreciated for his diverse role in ‘Ek Villain’, Riteish is expected to bring success to ‘Bank Chor’ as well. ‘Bank Chor’ is directed by Bumpy and produced by Ashish Patil. It is the story of 3 morons trying to rob a bank. They pick the worst day possible when everything that can go wrong, goes wrong.
