Katrina kaif out of new movie

Katrina Kaif’s role has been cut off in a new movie she was supposed to star in, called Bachna Ae Haseeno directed by Sidharth Anand.

The movie stars latest heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor and three other leading ladies, Bipasha Basu, Deepika Padukone and Manisha Lamba.

In the romantic comedy, Ranbir plays a carefree man who has relationships with these three beautiful women at different times of his life, a role reminiscent of the one played by his grand father, Raj Kapoor, in Mera Naam Joker.
Katrina’s role was cut because there was no space for that character in the movie as it was running too long.
Speaking to reporters, director Siddharth Anand said, `If we had kept Katrina`s portion `Bachna Ae Haseeno` would`ve been one of the longest films in the history of Hindi cinema - much beyond three hours.`

However, cutting her role out was not the toughest choice for the director but what came after it. Yes, breaking the news to Katrina was by far the toughest situation the director was faced with.

`Nobody had the heart to break the news to her. When she heard she was out, Katrina was really upset. What to do? In fact, Katrina`s track was one of our favorites, but she saw our point of view when she saw the film,` said Anand

Giving some explanation for editing out her role, Anand asserted, “The only reason we dropped the Katrina track was because it hadn’t been shot. Otherwise, she’s the biggest star we’ve in our film. Katrina has had only one flop in her entire career. Dropping her track had upset all of us.”
The movie is believed to be ‘inspired’ by Hollywood’s The Bachelors
