Guess who's replacing Lara Dutta in a romantic comedy!

Tanishaa Mukerji, who was last seen in the film Be Careful (2011), is all set to come back to films. She is doing Jyothi Kapur Das's Abhi Nahin Toh Kabhi Nahin, a romcom produced by Virender K Arora, Arjun N Kapoor and Mahesh Bhupathi. The film revolving around a father (Pankaj Kapur) and his children (Pankaj's own daughter Sanah Kapur, Tanishaa and a new actor), also stars Sanjay Kapoor and Vinay Virmani.

Says a source, "Mahesh's wife Lara Dutta was to do the role but the film got delayed a bit, so she didn't have the dates. Lara also signed Singh Is Bling by then. Tanishaa has now stepped into her role. It's the role of a young, bubbly girl and Tanishaa loved her character. Pankaj Kapur plays her father and he's seen in an unusually fun and romantic avatar in the film. Initially, Rajeev Khandelwal was also supposed to do one of the roles but his role changed quite a bit so he opted out."

Tanishaa, who had not signed any films post BB7, is currently acting in the play The Jury directed by Divya Palat. The actress had recently also launched a production house with her mother Tanuja. Post BB7 she did another spot on TV, as one of the judges in the stand-up comedy show Gangs of Hasseepur. Abhi Nahin Toh Kabhi Nahin will be her first film after four years.
