Race 2 producer Ramesh Taurani is in a foul mood and seems to have not taken Deepika Padukone walking out of his film Race 2, lightly. He vented out his ire to the media, “I have been a part of the Hindi cinema industry for 25 years. I have made several blockbusters. I have worked with famous actresses like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Katrina Kaif, Vidya Balan and Kareena Kapoor. But I have never faced a situation like this before.” He adds ,”We tried to reason it out with her. But she refused to even listen. Forget about anything else, she did not even apologize for her action. She seems to have no remorse.”
Taurani said that Deepika had refused Race 2, so that she could be a part of an upcoming Hollywood project. He goes on to say that he had also tried to tweak the film’s schedule to suit Deepika’s schedule but she did not respect his effort.
Deepika’s friend who has been keeping a track on this, refuted, “Constant delays are the reason Deepika’s can’t do Race 2. When the first delay happened, she adjusted her dates and shot for two days. But then again, she was informed that the dates were being changed. She would have liked to do the film but she couldn’t accommodate the new set of dates. She has conveyed her apologies to Ramesh Taurani. She had liked the script but unfortunately is not being able to juggle her dates any longer.” It is believed that Ramesh Taurani may take legal action against Deepika, after he has found a suitable replacement to her character in the film.
