Re-writing script for Shahid Kapur?

Ever since news of Karan Johar opting out of co-producing the remake of Vettai has come out, there’ve also been whispers of trouble brewing between the filmmaker and actor Shahid Kapur who was slated to play the lead. But according to a production insider, these talks are all rumours. Apparently, Shahid himself was not too happy with the script and had asked the production house to rework on it. “Shahid had agreed to do the film only if he was convinced about the script in the first place. People tend to jump to conclusions on their own without knowing the actual thing.

There’s no trouble between Karan and Shahid,” says the source dismissing buzz of any bad blood between the two. “The truth is that though the film has been shelved for now, we are looking at reworking on the script. We haven’t given up on the project,” reveals the insider. And if sources are to be believed, Shahid will definitely play the lead too. “Everyone including Shahid felt that the film’s script needed to be adapted to the sensibilities of the Bollywood audience. It’s a good film and the production house doesn’t want to completely drop it,” shares the source.

Shahid, meanwhile, is not ready to rush into any project. “He has always been choosey about his films, although there have been times when he did films for friends. But he’d rather wait for a good script than just jump into any film,” says another source.
