Kareena-Emraan's Badtameez Dil is ON - Page 2

After Kareena Kapoor begged out of the project months ago, it seems there may be more casting speed-bumps for the Balaji-Dharma co-production starring Emraan Hashmi. Now one hears Deepika Padukone, who'd committed to starring in the film after Kareena bowed out, may also make an exit. Sources in the trade reveal that Deepika had reportedly signed the film only as a thank you' gesture to her Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani producer Karan Johar, but after repeated delays in the film's production, and her own meteoric rise to the top order, the actress now simply doesn't have the dates to accommodate the film in her scheme of things.

There's a very good chance she'll be replaced by Johar's Student of the Year discovery and Dharma Productions' favourite in-house newcomer Alia Bhatt. The pint-sized actress, whose performance in Imtiaz Ali's yet-to-be-released Highway has got an early buzz going, is being hailed as the Next Big Thing by Johar, who has cast her opposite Arjun Kapoor in his adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's 2 States, and also in a new romcom opposite Varun Dhawan titled Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya.
