Alia Bhatt Walks Out Of RAABTA
| |||||
Tuesday, 2nd June 2015, 5:42 PM IST Alia Bhatt and Sushant Singh Rajput were all set to be paired opposite each other in Homi Adajania and Dinesh Vijan’s directorial titled ‘Raabta’. But now, the actress has walked out of the film. A source said, "The film has been in pre-production for four months. Homi has been working tirelessly on the script and finally locked it in March. ‘Raabta’ was to go on floors in May, but now Alia has opted out." Alia has films like ‘Shandaar’, ‘Udta Punjab’, ‘Kapoor & Sons’ and ‘Shuddhi’ in her kitty. Moreover, the actress is apparently not keen on doing love stories any longer. "Also, she doesn't have dates to spare. She has decided to go ahead with ‘Shuddhi’ which is her mentor's production and will reunite her with her ‘Student of the Year’ and ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ co-star, Varun Dhawan," the source added. There was a buzz ‘Raabta’ has been shelved, however it’s just a rumour and the makers are now opting for a newcomer to star in the film. The source said, "It's hard to find Alia's replacement because she is young, spirited and has the advantage of star power. Also, Homi had written the script with Alia in mind. But they have to get their cast together pronto since ‘Raabta’ is scheduled to release in early 2016. That's the reason they have decided to look at a fresh face opposite Sushant who is still on board."
