Shahid wants to scrap portions with Jiah and re-shoot Yahoo with Genelia

After Jiah Khan was replaced by Genelia D'Souza in Ken Ghosh's Yahoo, it was decided that since they'd already shot for fifty-odd days with the Nishabd actress, they'd use long shots and patch-up work to save on cost. But that was not acceptable to leading man Shahid Kapoor.
Sources at UTV Motion Pictures say that the actor wants them to scrap the portions with Jiah and reshoot them with Genelia.
An insider says, "The film went on sets early last year, and should've been complete and ready for release if it wasn't for Shahid. He had Jiah removed in what was meant to be the last shooting schedule. Then after much brainstorming, Genelia was roped in and now, it looks like further delays."
Making it clear
The source adds, "It was decided that the director would try to cheat as many scenes as possible. We were to go with close-ups and wide shots to save as much of the film as we could. But now after shooting for a week, Shahid made it clear that he wanted the film re-shot."
Shahid's argument (which is valid) is that he doesn't want to compromise on the film as he feels that audiences are very smart and cheating them with fake shots will affect the film adversely.
Now the cost of the film has nearly doubled and the only reason the producers are putting up with their star's diktats is because Shahid is also doing Kaminey with them, which they expect to be the runaway hit of the year.
On schedule
Excecutive Producer Ram Mirchandani says, "The film is on schedule. We will finish the shooting by June end and release it November-December later this year." About the film being re-shot again Ram says, "Every-one knows that we have had to redo certain bits as Jiah was dropped from the project and that Genelia has replaced her."
