Scripting Bebo's exit?

Reportedly, Kareena Kapoor may not be part of Zoya Akhtar's Kismet Talkies any more. Did Hrithik Roshan ask his director to rework the entire script to ensure this?

Zoya Akhtar's debut venture Kismet Talkies seems to be in trouble all the time. Chances of the project starting soon seem bleaker now, with the buzz doing the rounds about Hrithik Roshan being unwilling to work with Kareena Kapoor. Not only that, Hrithik has also reportedly asked for the script to be reworked. And no, chances of Kareena featuring in the reworked version is very bleak.

In fact, Kareena has been heard asking whether Zoya plans to make the film at all, since she hasn't heard about it from her, in ages. She hasn't been shown the script yet either. What's more, Bebo's dates are blocked for the rest of the year with three films, so that may be an issue too.

Meanwhile, Zoya Akhtar reworked the first draft of the script to keep Hrithik happy, but to no avail. According to our source, "Somehow Hrithik was not convinced still, and asked her to postpone the project." Zoya, eager to salvage her forthcoming film, continued to ideate. "Hrithik will work with Zoya for sure. He has signed a contract with producer Ritesh Sidwani and Farhan Akhtar under the banner of Excel Entertainment. Moreover, Zoya is a friend," says our source.

Once upon a time...: Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor in K3G

When we contacted Zoya Akhtar, she said, "I don't want to talk about my project at the moment, I think it's too premature to talk about it now."

However, industry insiders insist that Hrithik has been hesitant about the film ever since Zoya signed Kareena for the project. His wife Suzanne, sources say, is not too happy with husband Hrithik teaming up with Kareena. A few years ago, it was reported in the media that Hrithik had an affair with Kareena, during the making of K3G. Although both of them deny it, they have never worked together after that.

Even after the two signed Kismet Talkies, the cold vibes persisted. In an earlier interview to Mumbai Mirror, Hrithik clearly stated that, "I am doing Zoya's film. I don't know who else is associated with the project." Kareena remained indifferent too. She told Mumbai Mirror, "I liked my character in the film very much. I have never signed any film because of the hero. I am happy that Hrithik is doing the film, but I would have done the film even if he hadn't been associated with the film."

Just when Zoya thought she had managed to convince Hrithik, things took a turn for the worse and now Kareena may not do the film. "Kareena has no formal intimation from Zoya yet, but she doesn't know whether she's in the film or not any more. In fact, Hrithik has recommended Priyanka Chopra's name for the film," our source reveals.

We tried to get in touch with Hrithik Roshan for his version but his publicist refused to give us his new number.

I was abit surprised when i first read that Kareena and Hrithik will be paired, once again, in Kismat Talkies.
I don't think Kareena and Hrithik make a great pair on screen but Hrithik and Priyanka, on the other hand, are a fab choice!

I don't think he makes a good pair with Priyanka either. Plus, Priyanka isn't that good of an actress. She has star appeal but is overrated.

Hrithik looks good with Preity, Kareena or Rani. I wouldn't say its Hrithik's loss though. As long as his father is producing movies, he'll be around for a long time. Plus, Hrithik is a fantastic actor but picky as well so not surprised he thinking about backing out of the film (diff articles keep reporting diff stories). Kareena claimed she does not care about working with superhit heros in KWK. She's happy doing her type of cinema so its not her loss either.

But poor Zoya! 😭

Kareena is a far better actress than Priyanka. Offlate, Kareena has been doing good work.

This film is forever in the news for all reasons.Perhaps its just a stunt to build up some hype around the film.Rumours about Hrithik walking out of the film,Kareena walking out,then their refusting the rumours and confirming that they are INDEED in the film,now this news.All amounts to publicity.Or perhaps its Hrithik himself who's planting these news.Kareena manages to stay in the limelight by giving interviews at regular clockwork speaking about her personal life,so tis might perhaps be HR's strategy to stay in the news,as he anyways cant speak about Jodhaa Akbar,so perhaps he believes speaking about his other film KT..I might be wrong too🤔

Kareena might've proven herself to be a bttr actress thn Priyanka but as a pair Hrithik-Priya are any day bttr thn Hrithik-KAreena......I just cant stand him with KAreena....they both bring out the worst in each other....
And its not lik Priyanka can't act at all.....she was good in Aitraaz and Don...and anyway with KAreena there's alwys the risk tht she'll end up hamming big time (liek she's done in 90% of her movies) and for soem reason she alwys hams when she's paired with Hrithik.

Sayin tht...i doubt the article is true....coz Priyanka was supposed to be the second heroine in KT while KAreena was supposed to be the lead actress.
