Posted by admin on Sep 5th, 2010 | 0 comments

Kangna Ranaut has walked out of the screen adaptation of Salman Rushdie’s novel Midnight’s Children, directed by Deepa Mehta. The director was quite ecstatic about Kangana’s being part of the project. She had quoted, “Yes, Kangna Ranaut has agreed to be part of Midnight’s Children. I think she’s a wonderful actress, not quite like anyone else that I’ve worked with.”

However, Deepa’s interest was short-lived because Kangana who was supposed to play Emerald has decided to not to the project anymore. This is because the actress is quite busy with Dhamaal 2 and several other films.

A source says, “Kangna did not have dates. She is very busy with Dhamaal 2, which goes on floors very soon.Then she will do Salman Khan’s film, which will be directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. Besides these two, she has David Dhawan’s Rascal, Priyadarshan’s Bullet Train, Pritish Nandy’s Actor with Amitabh Bachchan, No Problem, Tanu Weds Manu and Knockout. The main clash on dates was happening with Rascal.”

Kangana is not the only one who has done with Deepa for this film. Sometime ago, Rani Mukerjee stepped out of the film because since she didn’t want to play the role of a mother to a 14-year old. Vidya Balan had also denied to take the same role when offered to her. Deepa is believed to have told a friend, “There were second and third choices for other characters. For Emerald I only wanted Kangna.” Unlike others who just make claims, Kangna seems to be one actor who really is busy considering the way she has been juggling dates of her movies.
