Shahid responsible for fallout between Bhansali and Rani!

Tuesday, October 6, 2009

During ‘Black’ days, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, his sister Bela Sehgal and Rani Mukerji went along like a house on fire. Rani was like an extended family to Bhansali, but all of a sudden, something happened which soured their relations. Here is an insiders report on what went wrong between the leading director and the talented actress. Reportedly, Shahid Kapur and ‘Hadippa’ were responsible for the fallout.

A source said to a news daily, "Soon after she came on board, they had differences. The main one being Bela wanting to cast Shahid Kapur opposite her. The actress shot it down because she felt he looked much younger than her. Things soured when, shortly after, Rani went on to sign ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ with Yash Raj Films` with Shahid Kapur!"

Yet, Bhansali gave ‘benefit-of-doubt’ to Rani. The source continued, "The last straw came when Bela and Bhansali saw that the Rani-Shahid film had the title of ‘Hadippa’. Rani was part of many discussions on the film and she was aware that Bela`s heart was set on that title, which was also registered in her name."

Bhansali and Bela thought that Rani has suggested the title. Although Rani denied vehemently but Bhansali did not relent and has not forgiven her since.

Another source said, "Both brother and sister feel very let down by Rani. Things are not the same between the actress and them. Time will heal wounds and maybe Sanjay will work with Rani in the future. But right now, the wounds are still fresh and they need to heal."
