Kriti Sanon chooses Shah Rukh Khan over Akshay Kumar

Heropanti actress Kriti Sanon seems to have faced a dicey situation recently. The actress who had readily agreed to be a part of Akshya Kumar's Singh is Bling had to opt out of the film since the shooting dates clashed with her next film- directed by Rohit Shetty starring Shah Rukh Khan.

Kriti was busy prepping up for the role and had been learning a lot of karate and new dance techniques to perfect her role for Singh Is Bling. But a delay in the film's shoot has put her in a fix. "Kriti was extremely excited to work with Akshay. The team was supposedly going on floors with their film in January which got postponed since Prabhu Dheva was not ready with a bound script", claimed a source close to the actress.

But that's not the only reason for her opting out, the source added. "Prabhu is now ready to kick start the film in March. But that is exactly the time Rohit Shetty is also planning to start shooting for his next. Kriti had to chose and the producers of Singh Is Bling were kind enough to let her go since the delay was from their end"

Kriti will be supposedly cast opposite Varun Dhawan in Rohit's next starring SRK. The film will be about two brothers played by SRK and Varun and will start rolling in March. Kriti and Varun will start the shoot while Shah Rukh will join the team around May.
