Ajay Devgn had opted out of Vishal Bharadwaj’s next film ‘Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola’ (MKBKM) in favour of Ashwini Dhir’s ‘Son Of Sardar’ since big monies were involved in the latter. Looking for an actor to fit in the character, Bhardwaj approached his ‘Kaminey’ star Shahid Kapur. Citing date problems, Shahid too has now refused to be a part of the filmmaker’s upcoming comedy. A source said, “After Ajay Devgn said no to MKBKM, Vishal thought Shahid would be a good choice opposite Anushka since their film ‘Badmaash Company’ was received well by the audiences and critics. However, Shahid has refused to be a part of the project since he is busy with Kunal Kohli’s film ‘Muqtassar’ and then Siddharth Anand’s remake of ‘Knight and Day’.”
