Lloyd Baptista, who is making his directorial debut with the Sadma remake, is unhappy with rumours of the film being shelved, post Kareena Kapoor Khan’s walk-out from the project.

The ad filmmaker who has directed everyone from Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan to Ranveer Singh and Kareena Kapoor in ads, has bought the South film rights and will also produce the film in English with a Hollywood star cast. Says a source associated with the project, “The idea is to get a good actress who is beautiful too. You can’t just put any actress there. While Lloyd discussed the subject with Kareena, she evinced interest as she loves Sridevi but he was yet to narrate the script to her. In fact when he had asked Kareena if she would do the film with Shahid Kapoor she said there wasn’t any problem and if the script was good she would do it.”

The source adds, “Vidya Balan was never approached. Lloyd’s wishlist is Shahid-Kareena or Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor. Apart from a great actress, he wants a great actor to play Kamal Haasan’s role. While the film will be the remake of Sadma, the makers are planning a twist in the tale, after the train scene when Nehalata goes away forever.”  Lloyd says, “All details of the film shall come out soon. This is a very big film and I want to do full justice to its remake. Neither Vidya Balan nor Ranveer Singh were approached for the film. Casting for the film is in progress and the names will be revealed after being locked.”
