January 24, 2013, (Sawfnews.com) - Producer Director Sajid Nadiadwala has reportedly replaced Sonakshi Sinha with Deepika Padukone in his upcoming film Kick headlining Salman Khan.
According to the TOI, Sajid had signed on Sonakshi as female lead for Kick following the success of Dabangg and Son of Sardar, and paid her the signing amount.
However, after the spectacular success of Dabangg 2, Sonakshi sought a paycheck hike.
Sajid wasn't amused over Sonakshi's volte face after having taken the signing amount. Besides, he didn't believe that Sonakshi had much to do with the success of the films that she has featured in so far.
Sajid consulted Salman on the issue and then replaced Sonakshi with Deepika Padukone.
Clearly, paying more to the female lead wasn't the issue with Sajid, as Deepika charges more for a film than what Sonakshi had demanded.
According to the TOI source, "Sajid felt that if he had to pay more to the heroine, then he might as well cast a bigger actress. And since Deepika hasn't done any film with Salman, this jodi gives the movie an extra fresh touch with such a novel casting."
