Randeep Hooda replaces Ranbir Kapoor?

Just last month reports were on that director Imtiaz Ali was looking at casting Ranbir Kapoor for his next film.

But since he has been booked for two films back to back by the Kashyap brothers – first Abhinav Kashyap’s Besharam and later Anurag Kashyap’s Bombay Velvet, Imtiaz has decided to start his other project – Highway – with Randeep Hooda and Alia Bhatt in the lead, instead of waiting for the Kapoor lad to get free.
