It was a role tailor-made for Yana Gupta . But the sexy belle opted out of it for reasons better known to herself.
When Yana first heard the script of director Sagar Bellary’s film Bheja Fry , she was hooked to her role in it. Yana was supposed to play a modern, sexy and glamourous wife of actor Rajat Kapoor in the film.
It would also have been Yana’s first full-fledged role in a Hindi movie. So far she has only done item numbers.
But for the reasons that are unclear, Yana chose to opt out of the project. While the sources say it could have been ‘date problems’, there are some reports that suggest that Yana perhaps was not confident of enacting a properly written role.
After Yana’s departure, the film’s producers replaced her with actress Sarika, who is re-inventing her acting career after her divorce from husband Kamal Haasan .
Although Sarika may seem a bit odd replacement for the young and feisty Yana, the movie’s director says Sarika still looks gorgeous, glamourous and a high-class woman.
And the way Sarika has handled her role in the movie has vindicated the director.
