Why did Kareena walk out of Ram Leela?

Is it because SLB supposedly asked her to postpone her wedding? Or was it financial issues?

Quite strange that she left it to do Gori Tere Pyaar Mein! Does anyone know the full story? Actresses would kill to work with SLB and here Bebo rejected him over and over again.

She's made stupid choices and given up great parts like Dil Dhadakne Do and yet she's still here!

I think she thought she was way above an actor like ranveer singh it's so strange seeing her do that flop movie but it's also good she didn't do ram leela

Bebo has terrible script sense

She also left Kal Ho Naa Ho because of money issues

Kareena was dying to work with SLB. She wouldn't let go of the opportunity for flimsy reasons.

I didn't get it then but after watching Ram Leela, which was full of raunchy and borderline semi-p0rnographic scenes, I understood that SLB probably didn't want a married actress to be doing such scenes.

Why? Because perhaps he felt it wouldn't sit well with the audience that an actress whose marriage would still be fresh in people's minds, is suddenly doing sex scenes with another man. It wouldn't be that believable and might bomb.

He was also coming off two flops (one in which he cast a married actress Ash opposite Hrithik as her romantic lead, it didn't work), so he must have been particularly nervous, so he let his fears get the better of him. He advised her to postpone her wedding and I think that was not agreeable to her, so she walked away.

Kareena prioritized Saif and her relationship in that moment over her career. SLB prioritized his career over being a decent human being. But it paid off for him as get got a replacement in Deepika and the film did well at thte box office, and Kareena paid the price with back to back flops like Agent Vinod, Heroine, Talaash, Gori Tere Pyaar Mein, Satyagraha, etc.

The actress says, “I walked out a week ago. I had allotted 100 days for the shooting in August as per contract but Mr Bhansali wanted more days to shoot. My managers Reshma Shetty and Zahid Khan thought about it and decided it wasn’t possible as I have signed three new big films for next year. The shooting for one of them begins in October immediately after the release of Heroine. I’ve also given 32 days of promotional time for Heroine as it’s a very special film for me. That wouldn’t have been possible if I had given those dates to Ram Leela.”

Kareena took a jibe at Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s sense of morals and principles. “Sanjay Bhansali is a confused director. He is a person who does not stand by his word. He doesn’t have any morals and principles in life. Tomorrow, even if he is the next Raj Kapoor or Guru Dutt, and my films don’t do well and if I’m a flop actress, I will still not ever work with him,” Kareena had told Filmfare during an interview.

However, the actress last year confessed she hopes to work the director and called him a star crossed lover. “Maybe a movie with Sanjay Leela Bhansali (laughs). But for that, Taimur has to be at least 10 years old because I can’t leave him before that. That’s the joke between Sanjay and me that we are star-crossed lovers,” she had said during an interview when asked if there is any unfulfilled desire yet.

If that was the case, then why did he even organise a photoshoot and dress rehearsal with Kareena. The excuse of her being married should hold weight during her photoshoot also, no ?

She did not want to work with Ranveer Singh who was a B grader then .Also SLB was considered to be a box office poison in 2012 with two supreme disasters in Saawariya and Guzaarish!

That was when she was signed. I think screen test and photoshoot is the norm for most films..

Also, I think her marriage was not fixed then. It was only fixed once she got signed. And that was not acceptable to SLB.

Which two flops? Guzaarish was SLB's?
