Earlier it was said that Saif Ali Khan has agreed to do a very significant cameo role in Anurag kashyap’s ‘No Smoking’ which stars John Abraham in the lead role. Bipasha Basu also has agreed to do a lavish item number for the film. Recent news says that Saif has opted out of the role for reasons best known to him. Grapevine says that Bipasha requested him to opt out as her ex-boyfriend John was not too keen in working with Saif, while she is still doing a lavish item number for the film which will be shot later this month.
When quizzed about it, Producer Kumar Mangat feigns ignorance and says: “I have never made a formal announcement about Saif’s cameo role in No Smoking at the first place. In fact, I have been talking to Saif for another film that I intend to produce later this year.”
When probed further he quickly adds: “Saif and I keep discussing a lot of things. But that doesn’t mean that he is going to be in all my films.”
