Celina Jaitly got a raw deal with Thank You but the actress is putting on a brave front.
She was cast opposite Sunil Shetty. This is her second film with director Anees Bazmee after 2005's No Entry. She was surprised to know that she is missing from most of the second half, only to pop up during the climax.
Interestingly enough, co-stars Sonam and Rimi enjoy more screen time by comparison.
Also, CJ's absence from the film's premiere on Thursday night raised eyebrows. While Sonam was unwell, Celina was in Dubai on "a personal break".
Says a source, "She's got a raw deal despite working with Bazmee before this and sharing a great rapport with him."
The source adds, "The film suffered due to lack of coordination of the cast's dates. Most of the scenes were rushed because Akshay and Sonam had other commitments.
Celina's scenes with Sunil were shot earlier, but the second half track had a far more comprehensive track that was marred due to date issues."
Celina admits that she's let down with the length of the track.
"I am a tad bit disappointed with the scene layout. However, I think that's due to the inability to shoot due to date issues. I did TY only for Aneesji and wouldn't ever say no to him."
