Friday, 11th Sept 2015, 5:57 PM IST There were reports that Shruti Haasan has opted out of ‘Baadshaho’ as she was not happy with her role. Few reports also stated that she decided not to do the film as Lisa Haydon had a meatier role than her in the film. However, director Milan Luthria has revealed that she opted out of the film due to date issues. Milan said, "We were supposed to start our shoot in November this year but on Ajay’s request we have changed the dates to accommodate his ‘Shivaay’. There is a requirement for snow-capped mountains in Ajay’s film, so he wants to shoot around that time in Bulgaria. He can’t shift that for sure. He suggested that we shoot along side, but my film has be shot in India. So we shifted our dates early next year as it would be more convenient for us. We plan to roll ‘Baadshaho’ in February/March. However, Shruti is committed at that time for films in the South." A source from Shruti's team confirmed the news and said, "She was keen on this project because after working with Akshay and John, working with Ajay Devgn would have added to her repertoire. But then she has a big line up of films down South where she is working with some of the top stars. She has given her dates to ‘Singam 3’ which she is doing with Suriya and another untitled film with Ajit. They are quite disciplined in the South, they won't make any changes to accommodate any actor. When ‘Baadshaho’ team changed the schedule with few months delay, she couldn’t accommodate Milan's film. It has got nothing to do with her role or Lisa. Who is the bigger star among the two, why would director give the meatier role to Lisa?"
