Salman Khan who initially agreed to play a dwarf in Aanand L Rai's next, has reportedly backed out from the film, as the actor wanted to keep his role under wraps to surprise his fans. 

A source reveals, "He is not too happy that details about his role have already been reported in the media. He wanted it to be a secret till the film released. So he decided to back out of the project."

Reports suggest this film too is a love story set in a small town, like the filmmaker's previous films. Now the director is left with no other option, but to sign another actor as soon as possible.

Aanand is currently shooting the sequel of 'Tanu Weds Manu'.
