Here’s why Kriti Sanon quit Akshay Kumar’s Singh Is Bling

The industry took notice of Kriti Sanon’s impressive performance in ‘Heropanti’ and filmmakers lined-up to sign her for their films.

She signed the biggest film of her career when Akshay Kumar recommended her name for ‘Singh Is Bling’. However, soon after news broke out that she was in contention to play the lead in Rohit Shetty’s next with Shahrukh Khan, came reports that Amy Jackson had replaced Kriti in the Prabhu Deva directed film.

While Rohit hasn’t officially announced his film, Kriti has hinted that since ‘Singh Is Bling’ was getting delayed, her dates allotted to other films were clashing.

“I’m not doing ‘Singh Is Bling’ now. I think you all must have read. The film was getting delayed for many reasons. Now when the film is starting, its dates are clashing with my other projects, so I chose not to do it” Kriti told reporters during an event here in Mumbai.

Calling it a ‘mutual decision’, Kriti also said that Amy Jackson is perfect for the role.

“It is a mutual decision. Producer Ashvini Yardi and I tried a lot to work out the dates, but nothing worked. Then we mutually decided that I step out of the film. Now Amy Jackson is doing the film. Since I know the script, I can say she suits the role perfectly and I wish her all the best.”

Like most other stars, she refused to talk about her presence in Rohit Shetty’s film, even though she did drop a hint.

“I’m really sorry as I won’t be able to comment on that film right now. Wait for some more time, you will hear everything about the film.. I will talk about the film when the time is right.”

  • Haters barking without anything know!!! Let release first then say crap or good.
    Now prabhu concentrate only SIB because last two movie was worst but better than Naidu Bhide(HNY).
    This time Deva not over confidence because last two movie.
    SIB will be HUGE hit just like R-Rathod.

  • @ARJUN KAPOOR FAN: Don’t worry about me,yes i did’nt liked the new title but that does’nt means Gabbar will flop..It will open huge,promotions have started,they have 50day marketing campaign for gabbar n it’s looking unique.
    Also Dp’s piku is now releasing on may8,so gabbar will open huge.
    Beware Chameleons #GABBARisBack

    @indicine,plz post Gabbar promotional posters..

  • I knew it-everyone will say that she left coz akki is a flopstar.now will u shut the f*** up and answer me why a more acclaimed actress like nimrat kaur is working with the so called flopstar akki?

  • @Arjun kapoor fan : And this news is not new for us,it is a month old news..Akki decided to give dates to airlift earlier n SIB shooting was delayed which caused kriti to opt dilwale..akki is currently shooting for airlift in Ras-al-khaima,UAE..

  • Somehow, everyone has watched the movie and knows it is crap like all the past Youngistaan movies(Excluding Badlapur who’s collections and ratings are due to NS, Script,Director,etc)

  • @ultron,no no don’t talk about working with bhai ,because she doesn’t want to be another bhagyashree,bhumika,aiswarya,Lucky’s heroine,daisy shah,doesn’t know how many others whose careers destroyed by our bhai,lol.even our bhai unable to give a single hit to actress like Rani,Preeti.south remake non actor is nothing with out south remake and masala genre.

    @babaji,are you joking?,lol.akki and super hit?BTW don’t worry brothers will be definitely super hit as a KJO SIR’S film.

    @vish,ha ha KING KHAN gave a super hit to Farah whose career destroyed by your poot khiladi.don’t know why you khiladi are dreaming about hits?I still couldn’t understand still yet.1st let your actor ti teach how to act rather behaving like a joker.akki did 100 movies still non of them are serious/challenging,couldn’t won Filmfare got by chance once.still his fafans are expecting hits from this expired actor,lol.

  • @sss,akshay give many superhits to priyadarshan,but teesarakhan destroy his career with epic filim billu.now,his crap fans waiting for second installment of billu aka fan.
    @romance r
    70 is trade mark of srk,without vfx he look like 70 year old actor.

  • singh is bling will be a bigger hit. If not a bigger hit, it will be atleast a more entertaining film due to Akki

  • I dont hate srk but his fans’ comments are forcing me to bash him.ok akki is the worst actor and ur srk is the best actor.now tell me why srk has not won national award or oscar?and why actingwise he looks a newborn in front of big b,aamir,naseeruddin,irfan etc. Huh???

  • 4 super hits in a single year and that too non holiday release, hai kisi mein dum, khans ka to ek film main hi pasina nikal jaata hai, uske baad eid, diwali ya christmas festive period mein release karte hain film ko, uske upar ticket price increase karte hain, bloody festival superstars

  • @sss when did srk did challenging roles, is that happy new year, chennai express, raone or om shanti om, what a joke, at least special 26, holiday, baby, omg are better than those craps, even jaya bachchan criticised hny even if abhishek was in that, that sums up all

  • @vish

    Konse gole se Aaye oh aap sir? How is Pk a crap film?

    @satya sabat A.K.A SSS

    Aap to Kabhi sudroge nahi na sir! Insulting Akki for no reason!

  • @sss, yes, none of the actress with Salman is known after their debut, but actress with srk is more popular.

    That’s because audience go to see only Salman, all others are just extras doing their routine work. But, when they go to watch a srk movie, they notice that the actress and others have better roles to play and then they make them more popular.

    Kirti sanon is smart, she knows this already that she will also get good popularity, because she will be the highlight of the movie, even though srk is the hero. She will never get the popularity with Salman or Akki, and will be lost in the stardom of these two megastars. The aura of these superstars are so bright that actress like kirti sanon will only be a blink and you miss thing…hahaha..

  • @jc,respect sir,so new heroines are try to work with overrated king.hope kriti and varun get full attention in x mass relise,like abhishek overshadowed king in previos year.

  • i think kriti can get more attention in SIB Bcoz she will b lead actress in that But in dilwale srk-kajol will main lead.all knew that.

  • i am amazed y haters are insulting akki even if he did class movie baby or mass movie holiday.third class people

  • @baap of khans,HE HAS been doing CHALLENGING ROLES FROM THE DAY OF ENTRY TO BOLLYWOOD.fromm BAAZIGAR ,DARR(overshadowed your favourite sunny), to JTHJ,MNIK,DON2 and now it’s time of FAN,RAEES.where is your remake actor’s new class film?so you’re thinking babay’ sp26’s roles are challenging?a big lol on you.don’t try to take credit from Paresh Rawal’s OMG in which overshadowed.yes jaya criticized 1st HNY,then what happened then BIGB apologized to KING KHAN ,then abhi-aish went to MANNAT for special apology which granted by KIND HEARTED KING KHAN.so what the value of that criticism?,lol.

    @jc,so OK If we go according to your logic ,people only go to watch salman and salman gave them a bug hit at 1st film then why he couldn’t give even a hit to big heroines like RANI,PREETI.because if people really goes to watch salman then definitely the film with RANI/PREETI would even a huge hit rather than a flop.which directly indicated south remake/masala genre/in 90’s sooraj barjatya power,lol.because the whole India knows about salman’s inert start power during 2000-2010.so need to discuss more.it’s crystal clear everything.but the biggest joke is who homslef is so much polar and big actor he can deliver hits to small heroines.but can’t give hits to big heroines?ha ha?really?are those big heroines overshadowed your bhai in those movies?that you salman fans decided let this film do a big flop as tha t big heroine overshadowed our bhai?really when it’s comes to brain/logic,it remained about salman fans ,they are opposite faces of a coin,lol.

    @gj007,sir aap kab sudgre thay?but why you’re trying to target me as I didn’t start 1st.it’s vish 1st gave comments against KING KHAN that’s why I replied accordingly otherwise I don’t even want to interfering unnecessarily into somdiscussionsike you’re interfering.BTW well try,I’m sss not as.but navin’s try was much better as suresh sukhinath subranyam,lol.

  • @ sss, are you joking, sunny deol overshadowed by srk, did you forget so called magnum opes ASOKA, that was touted as masterpiece-BIG PRODUCTION HOUSE, GREAT MUSIC, BIG DIRECTOR, it was bulldozed by INDIAN, also PARDES was bulldozed by BORDER. So wake up from your slumber, even dil, raja hindustani, lagaan were bulldozed by ghayal, ghatak and gadar. No one dared to compete with sunny at his prime, even with small directors and modest publicity sunny was baap of all khans

  • @sss dont bring past here, then akshay gave terrific performance in sangarsh, hera pheri, garam masala, bhul bhulaya etc etc

  • @bapu of khans

    lol. Raja hindustani was an ATBB. And Agree or not, srk completely overshadowed sunny deol in darr. Yes his horribly jingoistic hand pump Gadar was a blockbuster but it looked a complete troll film in front of Lagaan.

    comparing oscar nominated film with Sunny’s angry expressionless Gadar is a serious insult to the former.In terms of acting chops all the three khans are light years ahead of “angry sunny.”

    One performance of each khans be it Salman’s khamoshi, Aamir’s Earth, Srk’s Dil Se is zillion times better than entire “angry” career of Sunny deol. Even the relative younger Hrithik Roshan’s act in Lakshya was way better than him. His rubbish court room trash looks a mockery after watching the genuinely compelling Jolly LLB. These are how the “real” courts looks. No idiotic dialogue baazi!

    While I am a genuine fan/admirer of Dharmendra, I am sorry but just like BigB his sons have very little spark in themselves.

    Watched Darr a week ago and I whole heartedly agree with @sss. Srk made him look like a side-actor.

  • @gj007 we are not talking about content here, we are talking audacity, sunny was and is the only actor whose films were superhits even if they clashed with khans and without big banners and publicity, as far as darr is considered i agree that sunny was overshadowed by srk but srk’s role and character which he played was more intense. Then in jeet also sunny overshadowed salman khan by playing similar role, so it is the importance or role not the one who plays that, as far as court room drama is considered he won national award for that you fool, does any of the khans have national award, aamir got national award for raakh but that was special jury award, i am 100% sure that you will not know about raakh, please google that and then give your useless opinions

  • @baap of khans,your sunny mania starts in 84 and finished in 01.see the KHAN’S MANIA is going on since past 20+ years ,now it’s becomes a fever for everyone to watch KHAN’S movie.so what you want to give any explanation about that?agree or not sunny deol accepted 1st hweo role in DARR but he never expected A VILLAIN will overshadow him in the movie.for which he got angry upon YASHJI which is nothing but his insecureness ,finally worked after so many years with YRF in ypd-2 after 20 year.if you don’t know the TRUTH then remain silence.about your bulldozing stories,sunny always did masala oriented movie,for the reason why he won many clashes.but it’s another joke ASOKA is a big production film?lol on you.that production house is dreamz productions launched new at that time which now called as RED CHILLIES.ASOKA is a class movie with lower productions value if it would have little bit good production value as well as some good songs then it would have thrash your puny Indian.ASOKA and Indian were publicized at same level BTW KING SRK always promote his own banner films most than his other production’s film.

    I’m not talking about past rather talk I g about whole career,yes sangharsh is one challenging role.but why you’re thinking those other joker craps as challenging role.I also mentioned JTHJ,DON2 which are recent challenging roles that your akki couldn’t do.but see KING KHAN’S comedian role in CE.that is called versatility.KIBG KHAN’S VILLAIN roles is glorious and remembering even now also but where is your akki’s performance in ajnabee which hardly remembered by no one,lol.while both BAAZIGAR and ajnabee is from same director.bit who is much effective?IT’S YOUR KING,don’t forget the name kid of khans.

  • @bapu of khan

    I very well know about Rakh. And about Sunny’s national award it was for “supporting actor’. And yes jury does go wrong sometimes like it did with Saif ali Khan. If national award is the only criteria, Saif >>>Sunny!

    Aamir has won national award for TZP as best family film. So yeah his award is much more precious than a sidekick. And yeah, Aamir’s films havd international exposure. He is right ag the top on IMDB due to which many people across the world see his films.

    As a matter of fact, Aamir’s 3 idiots took china by storm and received tremendous acclaim. PK was the most well received film in North America. Aamir’s films and performances are remembered for years. Nobody gives sh!t about your Sunny.

    He is one of the many actors who came, gave some hits and went off.

  • And as far as audacity is concerned barring one or two films, it has always been srk. And Aamir’s Dil was the bigger than Ghayal though Sunny was a senior.

    And the fact is Sunny never received any oustandingly memorble role in his life. Aamir has Rancho, Bhuvan. Srk has Swades, Chak De what about your sunny? Please dont talk bout multistarers of JP Dutta. I want atleast 3 genuine roles of Sunny?

    About boxoffice. Sunny’s list of Flops/disasters will be higher than Aamir’s total no. of films. And this angry man never did noncommercial films like Ajay Devgn. On what grounds do you claim he is baap of khans?

    For films like Gadaar? If I start writing list of Amir khan classics, your sunny’s “angry” filmography might look worse than Jacky Bhagnani!
