After Rekha walked out of Abhishek Kapoor’ s Fitoor, the powerhouse performer Tabu has stepped into the picture. Fitoor, the Indian adaptation of Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations, had Rekha playing the desi Miss Havisham, however, she has walked out of the project because she felt she wasn’t looking nice in the rushes. Now Tabu has agreed to join the star cast, and she seems perfect for the part. She will soon join the cast. The part perhaps always belonged to her because even before Rekha got on board, Tabu was one of the names that was initially considered for the role.
Govinda was supposed to play Ranbir Kapoor’s father in Anurag Basu’s Jagga Jasoos, however, that seems to have changed now. Word is, that the film which is being majorly reshot doesn’t have Govinda and Anil Kapoor has stepped into his shoes. An insider says, “Govinda had finished shooting but the makers wanted fresh dates from him. Also they were not too happy his errant ways so they decided to replace him. Says an insider, “They have almost finalised on Anil to play Ranbir’s father.” Govinda maintains “I did my guest role for the film. Whether they retain it or not, you will have to check with them.”
