Left 'Singh Is Bling' due to constant delay: Kriti Sanon

Actress Kriti Sanon says she stepped out of Parbhudheva's directorial 'Singh Is Bling' as it was constantly getting delayed and also because its dates were clashing with her other projects.

"I'm not doing 'Singh Is Bling' now. I think you all must have read. The film was getting delayed for many reasons," the actress said here on Tuesday at the launch of Spring-Summer collection of the store Aldo.

"Now when the film is starting, its dates are clashing with my other projects, so I chose not to do it," she added.

The 24-year-old, who made her Bollywood debut with Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Heropanti' last year, said she was keen to feature in the movie.

"I was preparing a lot for the film. Akshay Kumar and Prabhudheva are a team that you always want to be a part of, she said, but added that she does not regret her decision to step out from the film.

"It is a mutual decision. Producer (of 'Singh Is Bling') Ashvini Yardi and I tried a lot to work out the dates, but nothing worked. Then we mutually decided that I step out of the film," she said.

After the 'Heropanti' actress' exit from the film, Amy Jackson has been roped in opposite Akshay in the film. Kriti feels "Amy suits the role perfectly".

"Now Amy Jackson is doing the film. Since I know the script, I can say she suits the role perfectly and I wish her all the best."

Meanwhile, there are reports that Kriti has signed filmmaker Rohit Shetty's film.

However, she refused to divulge any details and said: "I'm really sorry as I won't be able to comment on that film right now. Wait for some more time, you will hear everything about the film...I will talk about the film when the time is right."

There was much confusion regarding the release of Akshay Kumar-Amy Jackson starrer Singh Is Bling. First, the film was to release in July; then the makers changed the film's release date to October 2 since it was considered a more beneficial date. After locking the date, the film was to go on floors from the end of January and when it failed to, rumours about it getting shelved began doing the rounds.

A few days later, Kumar tweeted about how the film was definitely on and would soon go on the floors. But now, to settle matters once and for all, we have a final word from the producers of the film.

Jayantilal Gada of Pen India says, "We had never announced that the film was shelved. The film will release on October 2 and will go on the floors from the third week of April. We are also co-partnering with another production house to back the film. So rest assured, the film is very much on track."
