| |||
Wednesday, 27th May 2015, 2:08 PM IST Yesterday, it was reported that Rekha, who plays the desi version of Miss Havisham in Abhishek Kapoor's ‘Fitoor’, has told the director to re-shoot some scene featuring herself. But now, the legendary actress has decided to walk out of the film. ‘Fitoor’ is a story about an orphan, Noor, who falls in love with Firdaus, the glamorous but aloof responsibility of Begum. When Rekha was signed for the role, everyone had started talking that she would be perfect for the role. And now, Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif have to re-shoot the sequences with the actress who replaces Rekha as Begum. A source said, "The replacement will now have to film with both Katrina and Aditya who will have to find matching dates in their packed diaries.” Abhishek confirmed the news and said, "It is entirely our loss to have missed this chance to work with the legendary Rekhaji, and I hope to work with her in the future." When the director was asked why Rekha walked out of the film, he chose to remain silent. However, a source said, “Rekha came to the conclusion that she is not looking good on screen and that no re-shoot can salvage it. She therefore decided to exit the project. The producers won't be taking any legal action against the veteran actress." But, UTV spokesperson has something else to say. The spokesperson said, "Since the ‘Fitoor’ schedule has changed from what was planned initially, the new dates clashed with Rekhaji's prior professional commitments. She has therefore expressed that she will be unable to accommodate these dates and will regrettably have to bow out of the film. We fully appreciate her position and hope to be able to work with her in the future." Apparently, the makers have approached Tabu to step into Rekha’s shoes.
