Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone have reportedly refused the offer to play the role of the female lead in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Mohenjodaro.
A source has revealed that as Deepika is already busy with films that she has already signed, which include Shuddhi (not officially announced), Window Seat, and Happy New Year. She has all her dates taken up over the next couple of years. The source continued that this has prompted her to refuse Gowarikar’s historical movie.
While Ashutosh was keen on signing Deepika for the film, since she is the most sought after actress in the industry, all her dates have been allotted to films that she has already signed.
Deepika had in the past worked with Gowarikar for Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey, which was received poorly at the box office.
Gowarikar’s second choice, Katrina Kaif, also has other commitments to fulfil.
As for the male lead, Hrithik Roshan, is more or less confirmed to work with his Jodhaa Akbar director once again.
Who would you want to see paired opposite Hrithik? Tell us!
@ Indicine…first of all i dont think Ashutosh has any press release about starting this project. Hrithik has not been finalised..where is the talk of selection of heroine came from and when did he approach deepika and katrina..It all looks fake news…I feel the selection of actors has not been started yet…
However i would definately love to see Hrithik – Aishwarya (Come back) pair, Aishwarya was looking stunning in photos released by some news portal. she can definately suit a iconic historical character.
Katrina will definately not suit this kind of role, whereas Deepika and Kareena would be good option…
I think,aishwarya is the best choice for mohenjadaro..
