When Sonam Kapoor announced that Ekta Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor will be producing a movie based on female friendship starring the likes of Kareena Kapoor and herself, we were all so happy. Bollywood has never really had a film focused on this topic, and getting such a stellar cast (which also includes Swara Bhaskar and Shikha Talsania) was quite a coup in itself. Even when Kareena announced her pregnancy, the makers said that they will incorporate it in the film, so all seemed well. But, according to a report by DNA, it looks like Kareena has decided to let go of this project. She’s in her second trimester and isn’t feeling very healthy. Here’s what a source close to the publication told them –
Bebo has already had a word with producer Rhea and shared her fears. While she was looking forward to shooting, she hadn’t anticipated morning sickness, fatigue and other pregnancy-related conditions. There are some days she is not in a condition to get out of bed, and the actress feels that by the time the film goes on the floor next month, she may or may not feel better. She doesn’t want to put Rhea and Ekta in a fix. The film has to be completed in two months, and if the actress is advised bed-rest (like her doctor has warned), the shooting will get stalled.
The source also added that she didn’t want to put the producers in a lurch after starting the shoot and then bailing out due to health concerns. Let’s hope she gets well soon and the makers find a cool replacement!
