Kareena Kapoor Khan’s pregnancy and her upcoming project, Veere Di Wedding have been a hot topic in Bollywood circles for a while now. Initially it had been presumed that Kareena would opt out of the project, but those rumours were laid to rest by the producers. Then came the news that the movie is to be postponed. Now, it has been learned that Kareena was always supposed to play a pregnant woman in the movie.
Back when rumours of Kareena leaving Veere Di Wedding had emerged, the producers released a statement refuting them. “Kareena is a thorough professional and will start shooting for the film in August. Much like the spirit of our film, which celebrates the modern girl, Kareena is carrying on with her work and life as usual and we couldn’t be prouder to have her,” it had said.
Post this, it was also speculated that Ekta Kapoor had backed out of the project due to budget constraints. A close source had revealed, “It looks like the project has hit a stumbling block yet again, as Balaji has backed out from the project, and to save losses, Anil Kapoor had met T-Series, but it didn’t work out well. Although, Kareena was paid '2 crore already in advance as her fee.”
However, Balaji denied these rumours and assured that they were working closely with producer Rhea Kapoor on the project.
When contacted a source said, “Kareena has to play a pregnant woman in the film, but it had major budget issues and has hence been postponed till an indefinite time. They might start the film in a few months.”
