Riteish Deshmukh not Kapil Sharma in Yash RajFilms' BANK CHOR

Riteish Deshmukh was recently announced as the
new male lead of Y-Films’ BANK-CHOR. YRF has
decided to really scale up the Y-Films project by
bringing in Riteish, who has one of the most
successful track records in the industry. BANK CHOR
is scheduled to go on the floors immediately and is
planned for an early 2015 release.
Added Riteish, “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!”
Speaking on the same, Ashish Patil, Business &
Creative Head, Youth Films, Brand Partnerships &
Talent Management at Yash Raj Films, “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 helluva ride
now!”
Riteish has just been hugely appreciated in a very
different role in EK VILLAIN that is well on track to
clock a 100 crores, besides having delivered back to
back hits like GRAND MASTI, HUMSHAKALS, KYA
SUPER KOOL HAI HUM, HOUSEFULL and more and is
certainly expected to amp up BANK CHOR
dramatically.
BANK-CHOR is a comic-caper, that tells the story of
3 morons trying to rob a bank who pick the worst day
possible when everything that can go wrong, goes
wrong and how they’re inadvertently caught in the
crossfire of cops, industrialists and corrupt
<i>netas</i>. BANK-CHOR is directed by Bumpy and
produced by Ashish Patil.
