Earlier it was said that Kareena Kapoor will work in Ekta Kapoor and Milan Luthria’s Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai Part 2 but the latest report is that the actress has opted out from this film and decided to work with other filmmakers whose project looked better planned.
Why Kareena left the project, a source said, “Kareena, who had already committed to the Balaji production was not very happy with the way things were going. All she knew was that she was to play Mandakini’s role in the film. The second actor had still not been finalised and Kareena’s dates were also not fixed. Around a couple of weeks back, Kareena asked the producers, Balaji, to get back to her with all the details including exact shoot dates, the second lead actor and the final script. Balaji failed to do that. As a result, Kareena has opted out of the project.”
The actress also got another offer from a good banner when Balaji had only kept her waiting. The source added, “It is a big film by a celebrated filmmaker, whose last film had two a-list actors in unconventional roles. The filmmaker’s dates seem to clash with Balaji’s. Kareena decided to opt for the former, since it looked better planned, unlike Once Upon A Time…,”
Kareena will also tie the knot with Saif after the release of ‘Agent Vinod’ so it could be another reason of why the actress walked out from Balaji’s film. The source explained, “Saif Ali Khan had announced that the wedding may take place after the release of Agent Vinod. With her wedding round the corner, Kareena of course did not want any distractions. And she is already working on Madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine. The wedding might take place around the end of 2012.”
