The charming Fawad Khan did not opt out of Battle for Bittora because of intimate scenes, rather the Pakistani actor walked out of the Bollywood project because of clashing schedules, according to an Indian Express report.
Talking to the Indian newspaper, Fawad said: “The biggest hurdle was the timelines which couldn’t coincide. Sonam was busy in her own projects. Rhea (Kapoor) is working on another pet project called ‘Saat Hindustani’. Amidst all this, even I got involved with some work. Rest everything is all conjecture.”
Given that it was Kapoor’s Khoobsurat that propelled Fawad, many wondered if his decision will strain their relationship but Fawad says that all is well. “I never rejected the film. We still enjoy a good rapport, friendship and conversation. I have all the love and respect for Anil sahab and the whole Kapoor family. And I’d love to work with them whenever the opportunity comes next.”
Based on Anuja Chauhan’s book of the same name, Battle for Bittora might see Farhan Akhtar replacing Fawad Khan as the leading man.
