Gone are the days when Directors used to chase an actor for a particular role, it's the era of if you won't do it, someone else would !.
There is a sudden spree of one actor replacing the other in almost every upcoming film now. Let's find out who is replacing whom.
Whole B-town was abuzz with Katrina bagging Soundarya Ashwin's 2D film Kochadaiyaan, opposite Rajinikanth. But we now we hear that Deepika Padukone has been confirmed to play the part.
Rajini's daughter and Director of the film tweeted, 'Guys Deepika padukone confirmed to play appa s pair in Kochadaiyaan :) great to have you back with us @deepikapadukone :):) big hug!'
Good news for Dippy coz Rana was shelved due to Rajinikanth's health problems, but Kat seems to have lost a big project here.
Ramesh Taurani's ambitious project Race 2 had Deepika in the lead opposite Saif Ali Khan. But fed up with constant shifting of dates, Deepika decided to walk out, that too after the movie had gone on floors.
And we now hear that the Producer has sent an SOS to Priyanka Chopra, who is busy shooting Krrish 2, to take over. If this works out it'll be nice to see Piggy Chops in a racy role after a long time!
Apparently, Kat kept director Ayaan Mukherjee waiting for a long time before saying 'No' to Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani opposite Ranbir Kapoor. And it was then offered to Deepika Padukone (We are actually happy to see the ex-flames back together).
We hear Kat did 'Chikni Chameli' to pacify Karan Johar as he was quite miffed with the whole thing.
Sanjay Gupta's prequel to Shootout at Lokhandwala called Shootout at Wadala had earlier signed on Vidya Balan as the lead. But after The Dirty Picture's huge success Vidya decided to quit the project as she didn't want to play a second fiddle to the leading men in the film.
Kangana happily lapped up the project when it was offered to her, giving fire to the rumours of her joining hands with Sanjay Dutt's rival to settle scores with him.
Everyone knows Jacqueline Fernandez was originally a part of Bhatts' Raaz 3, but it was on behest of boyfriend Sajid Khan that she left the movie, saying she can't wear revealing dresses.
Jacq's loss has become a huge gain for Kingfisher girl Esha Gupta as she has replaced her now, we hear. Esha seems to have become the favorite new girl of Bhatt camp as she is also doing Jannat 2 and Jism 2 with them.
Although it's still not clear if Neil Nitin Mukesh was 'dropped' or if he left the project out of his will, but we hear he has now been replaced by the talented Irrfan Khan in the sequel of Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster.
Neil says he quit the film coz he's already played a horny husband in 7 Khoon Maaf, while the makers say that it was a creative decision taken by the team.
