John Abraham says NO to Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Sanjay Leela Bhansali seems to be having her worst days in bollywood. First it was his favourite Salman Khan refusing for his film Heera Mandi and now its John Abraham who said No for the project.

It all started with Hurman Baweja backing out of his other project Chenab Gandhi coz his dates clashed with Ashutosh Gowarikar's What's Your Rashee. Hurman was then replaced by John in the film and Bhansali was all set to begin shooting from April 2009.

John did have dates available for Bhansali's upcoming Chenab Gandhi before the release of Dostana. But things have changed post release. Fervor and action has left John with too much on his plate.

John has his dates for David Dhawan's Hook Ya Crook and Abbas Tyrewala's 1-800-Love, that he has practically no time nor interest for Bhansali's next.
The filmmaker seemingly ran out of choices and has decided to postpone the shooting till December.

As for the progress on the Heera Mandi front, well, only time will tell.

Rani Mukherji refuses cameo for Sanjay Leela Bhansali

Very recently Rani Mukherji was dropped from a high profile Titan watches ad campaign. Now she has refused a cameo in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’ new movie Chenab Gandhi.

Apparently Sanjay Leela Bhansali approached Rani Mukherji with the project. Rani said she will agree to be part of the movie provided she get the lead role.

But Bhansali offered her a cameo role in the venture Chenab Gandhi. The lead role was promised to Vidya Balan.

Rani has tired of playing cameos including one in Bhansali’s last picture Saawariya. She refused to play second lead in Chenab Gandhi to junior actress Vidya Balan.
