After replacing Tara Sharma in Rensil D'silva's Jehaad, now Minissha Lamba is also out. As reported in HiTLIST, Feburary 17, 'Tara"s pregnant, replaced by Minissha", now it comes to light that the actress is out because of her reluctance to shoot intimate scenes with co-star Vivek Oberoi.
A source reveals, "Minissha was very happy to have bagged a role in Jehaad, courtesy. Although it was only had a ten minute role, but couldn't stop bragging about it, since she was shooting for a film which was backed by Karan Johar's production house. But now, she is no longer part of the film.
The source continues, "The role demanded intimate scenes between her and Vivek. She was open to that but refused to do a kissing scene with the actor.
This didn't go down well with the director and he spoke to the production house to have her replaced. Minissha, who wasn't in favour of this kiss refused to reconsider, ensuring an exit as the only option."
Jehaad is a romantic thriller set against the backdrop of global terrorism. The movie stars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead. The supporting cast also includes Kirron Kher, Om Puri and some talented new faces.
Minissha and Jehaad director Rensil both remained unavailable for comment.
Tara Sharma adds, "Rensil had given me a briefing but we hadn't spoken about the intimate or kissing scene at length.
He knew I wouldn't be comfortable, and he did talk about working around it out minus the kissing scene as the script really didn't demand it."
