Dia Mirza decides once is enough, refuses Dharma Productions' next, I Hate Love Stories
After playing a cameo in Dharma Production's Kurbaan, Dia Mirza has now refused to play a cameo in the banner's next I Hate Love Stories directed by debutant Punit Malhotra.
If sources are to be believed Dia didn't want to play a cameo in the movie although she liked the script.
Opting out
A source reveals, "The movie stars Sonam Kapoor opposite Sammir Dattani with Imran Khan in the parallel lead.
The script required a lady actress opposite Imran and Punit zeroed down on Dia Mirza as she aptly suited the role.
The director had a meet with Dia and everything was finalised.
But when Punit was on his recce to New Zealand, Dia sent him a letter where she mentioned that she wouldn't be able to be a part of the movie as she is busy with other commitments."
The source continues, "Punit is keen to have Dia on board the project and hasn't found a replacement. The recording and script reading for the other actors have started but the search for Dia's replacement is on."
A source close to Dia reveals, "She had refused to do the film when offered to her, so there was no question of her opting out."
Punit Malhotra remained unavailable for comment.
