Sonam Kapoor’s illness costs producer a bomb!

An illness is something no one can do anything about. But when an actor falls ill, it surely does burn a hole in the producer’s pocket. 

Sonam Kapoor fell ill in the middle of her schedule for actor-turned-director Pankaj Kapur’s film Mausum, throwing the film’s shoot off track. Meanwhile, a set that had been erected in Mumbai at the cost of Rs. 75 lakh had to be eventually brought down. 

Sonam and Shahid were supposed to shoot a few romantic scenes there. But Sonam took to bed with typhoid and the shoot was stalled. 

Now that Sonam is well again, she will shoot for the film in Gwalior. The Mumbai schedule will he held later on.

Katrina Kaif’s loss is Sonam Kapoor’s gain

Never a producer complains about Katrina Kaif’s professionalism, but for the first time it happened when she walked out from the Abbas-Mustan’s film, which is a remake of Hollywood hit Italian Job, after giving a nod to the project. The directors now got Sonam Kapoor for the role. 

The remake has Abhishek Bachchan, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Bobby Deol in the lead and Sonam will be paired opposite Abhi. 

The director duo was quite upset with Katrina’s behaviour and even told a tabloid that they are ‘shocked’, ‘hurt’ and ‘extremely disappointed’ by her act. Now, as they have acquired the rights of making the remake, nothing is stopping them. 

It is believed that Kat said no to the Italian Job Bollywood version because of a Yashraj project with Imran Khan. 

Someone’s loss is someone’s gain!
