So vivid are the love-making scenes in Yashraj Films’ Aurangzeb that Shraddha Kapoor, who was the Yashraj heroine for their production 'Luv Ka The End', refused the role; much to the shock of the company, we might add.
Says a well-placed source, “Shraddha was the first choice for the lead opposite Arjun Kapoor. No one at Yashraj thought she’d say no to a lead role in a big Yashraj production with one of the hottest newcomers as her co-star. But when Shraddha heard about the graphic nudity and intimacy she simply opted out without a second thought and preferred to focus on Aashiqui 2, which is now her first big hit.”
Apparently like the other star-daughter Sonakshi Sinha, Shraddha is very clear about here dos and don’ts on screen. The explicit love scenes of Aurangzeb were a complete no-no to her family values.
The movie, now starring Sashaa Agha opposite Arjun Kapoor, releases this weekend.
