Did Ranveer Singh back out from Singh Is Kinng sequel, Sher Singh?.

Ranveer Singh was all set to step into the
shoes of Akshay Kumar in the sequel of
2008 hit film Singh Is Kinng. It was given the
title, Shree Singh. Now, according to a report
in a leading tabloid, Ranveer has apparently
backed out of the film.
A trade source said, "Ranveer and producer
Shailendra Singh had a couple of meetings
for narration. The actor loved Sher Singh's
story. But Shailendra was shocked to receive
a call from Ranveer's manager and Yash Raj
Films' talent management group head,
Ashish Patil, who told him that Ranveer has
bowed out of the film. Ranveer and
Shailendra haven't communicated since
then. The producer has been meeting other
stars for Sher Singh."
The producer had earlier said Ranveer was
his first choice, given that the actor "can be
Bollywood's ultimate sardar". Shailendra
added, "Ranveer has all the characteristics
needed to play a sardar, just like Akshay and
Ajay Devgn do. I narrated the story to him in
one line about a month-and-a-half ago, and
discussed his look too. He expressed
interest in the project and asked me for a
10-page script, which I will send him this
week."
"I will tell you one thing -- Sher Singh
ordinary hai, lekin kaam extraordinary karta
hai!," added the producer.
Talking about Ranveer, the actor will also be
seen in Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy. Talking
about his solid calendar, Ranveer had said, "I
am very excited. I keep saying this to myself
and always manifest it as well that my best
work and my best time is yet to come.
Thankfully, with God's grace, everything that
I manifest and attract comes to me, so, I
believe deeply in the law of attraction.
Whatever you manifest and what you really
wish for from the bottom of your heart, you
will get it if you work hard enough. So, here
I am, in 2018, coming up with diverse roles
and collaborating with different
filmmakers."
