Farah Khan has replaced choreographer Ganesh Hegde on Just Dance as one of the judges. And this, before the reality show even goes on air.
The other judges Vaibhavi Merchant and Hrithik Roshan stay put.
The show has an international format wherein dancers from all over the world perform and vie for the top spot.
Disagreements
A source close to Farah says, "The producers and the channel approached Farah a month ago. She turned them down then as she was busy finishing the first draft of her next film."
They approached her again last week. While shooting the promo with Hrithik, Ganesh and Vaibhavi, some disagreement cropped up between Ganesh and the channel and they decided to part ways.
Excited
The Tees Maar Khan director was asked to replace Ganesh. She said yes this time as she has completed her first draft and also because she has been offered big bucks.
"It's just a month of shooting, and Farah is quite excited about it since it is a dance show, " notes the source. In any case, FK was never keen on working with Ganesh as she feels he has an attitude problem."
Hrithik has worked with Farah off and on since his debut in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. She shares a warm and affectionate relationship with the Roshans.
