Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, who has his plate full with a
host of movies, some nearing its release and some gearing up for its shoot, was
supposed to do Reema Kagti's thriller movie Mr. Chalu.
Rumors of Saif having signed the movie surfaced back in
2014. Not just the actor but names of the leading ladies being considered for
the movie also grabbed headlines. Actresses like Priyanka Chopra, Kangana
Ranaut among others were being linked to the project. But, no official pronouncement
happened.
A few months after that, conjectures of Fawad Khan being
signed for the movie made rounds as Saif Ali Khan had opted out. But, director
Reema Kagti wasn't willing to go ahead with the film without Saif. Post those
reports, there was nothing about the movie or Saif being reported. Until
recently, when the news of Saif having walked out of the movie surfaced on the
web.
When a famous tabloid, got in touch with Saif to know what's
the truth, he revealed, "Mr Chalu just didn’t work out. Sometimes it’s
money, sometimes dates, sometimes something else. I feel it’s not decent to
discuss the private and financial dealings with a producer in public."
He further added, "I loved that script and would have
loved to do it!"
In the meantime, Reema Kagti is now shooting for her next movie
Gold, with Akshay Kumar, in London. Whereas, Saif Ali Khan is gearing up for
the release of his next movie Chef. He also has Baazaar in his kitty along with
Kaalakandi that comes out on September 8.
