Kareena’s detestation for Emraan gives advantage to Deepika!

Deepika Padukone is on a roll. After Kareena rejecting Ekta Kapoor – Karan Johar’s movie, it is heard that Deepika has taken Kareena’s place and will be seen opposite Emraan Hashmi.

It is heard that Kareena told no to Ekta-Karan because she wasn’t comfortable working with Hashmi. However, Deepika, who is known to explore the Bollywood industry, has no problem working with Emraan.

A source close to the Balaji- Dharma project disclosed, “It is strange Kareena was not happy with her role. She also told Ekta and Karan that her marriage would be around the same time they wanted to start shooting for the film. It’s a heroine-oriented movie and Emraan is not the mainstay of the project. Deepika was so thrilled about her role that she agreed to it a couple of days before boarding the flight to Turkey, where she is currently shooting for Race 2.”

If sources are to be believed, it is told that after giving ample thought, Kareena decided to return to the project. “It would have been unethical to show Deepika the door then. Moreover, they were unanimous in their opinion that Deepika could pull off the role as efficiently as Kareena would have,” further added the source.

“The film is an urban take on love – it is quirky, edgy and dramatic,” tells an insider.

The movie will go on floors by end of this year.
