Ramu unhappy with Katrina Kaif's diction in Sholay, wants to replace her with Sushmita Sen
Ram Kamal Mukherjee
The latest update on Ram Gopal Verma Ke Sholay (RGVKS) is that Katrina, who was supposed to play Radha, a role essayed by Jaya Bachchan in Ramesh Sippy's Sholay, is out of the film. Now, the filmmaker is on the look-out for an actor who could fill the void.
The buzz doing the rounds is that Verma has already approached Sushmita Sen to replace Katrina, although her presence in the film is not confirmed. "Sushmita spoke to Ramu, she has also had a narration. And she has promised to get back to him as soon as possible," says our source.
Allegedly, Verma was unhappy with Katrina's diction and asked her to opt out of the film. According to our source, "Ramu wanted Katrina to work extensively on the character which is completely different from Ramesh Sippy's Radha. Katrina was excited about the character, but after reading the script she felt she wouldn't be able to do justice to the role and politely declined it."
When we contacted Katrina, she confirmed that she is no longer a part of Sholay. "I'm not doing the film because the dates are causing too much of a problem. I had signed RGVKS a long time ago, and now all of a sudden the dates have changed, so it isn't working out for me. I am busy with Anees Bazmi's Welcome, Vipul Shah's Namaste London and David Dhawan's Partner, and don't have dates for RGVKS right now. But I do wish Ramu the best," says Katrina.
Did the director have a problem with her diction? "I don't think Ramu would ever have had a problem with my accent. I'm doing roles which need more emphasis on the diction and language. David's films have long dialogues and funny lines, which I have done. So it's completely untrue."
