Last week we read that Richa Gangopadhyay has walked out her maiden Hindi film, titled 'Shortcut Romeo', since she found it difficult to allot dates thanks to her commitments in Tollywood.

Director Susi Ganesh has found a replacement to Richa now, in the form of Puja Gupta of 'F.A.L.T.U.' fame.  And he feels Puja is a better choice when compared to Richa.

'Because Richa is totally a newcomer to Bollywood. But Puja is already popular here. So keeping her on board will add more value to the project I believe. I will soon start shooting with Pooja,' he says.

Shortcut Romeo is the Hindi remake of Tamil super hit 'Thiruttu Payale', which was directed by Susi Ganesh himself. Jeevan, Sonia Agarwal and Malavika played the lead roles.
