Kareena no longer in Singham 2

Vickey Lalwani (MUMBAI MIRROR; October 24, 2013)

Kareena Kapoor Khan's dream of working with Ajay Devgn in Singham 2 has been shattered. Rohit Shetty has decided to cast a newcomer opposite Devgn in the sequel.

A source close to the development told Mirror, "Rohit had offered Kareena Singham 2 even before Chennai Express hit the theatres. Kareena was keen to do the film and had also consented in principle."

So what prompted Rohit to change his mind? The source revealed, "Rohit felt that the role is too small for an established and talented actress like Kareena. He discussed this with the producers, Reliance Entertainment, who also subscribed to his view."

Mirror has it that a newbie from South will be roped in to play Ajay's love interest in the film.

Added the source, "There is no bad blood over this between Rohit and Kareena. They have worked in Golmaal Returns and Golmaal 3, and will work together in future as well."

A sequel to the 2011 Ajay Devgn and Kajal Aggarwal starrer Singham, the film is expected to go on floors early next year.
