After the Exit of Rekha from Fitoor Tabu’s Entry Confirmed

Mumbai : Director Abhishek Kapoor’s forthcoming movie ‘Fitoor' which is scheduled for release on February 12 of next year, has endured a blow as veteran actress Rekha, who was give a role as Miss Havisham, has left the film. The 60-year-old Bollywood diva was evidently not happy with her role in the movie.

At the same time, there is very little clarity on what incited the actress to leave the film after the vast majority of the shooting was already complete. 'Haider' star Tabu has supplanted Rekha in the film that bases on Katrina Kaif and Aditya Roy Kapoor’s characters.

Director Abhishek Kapoor asserted that, Tabu has given some incredible performances in ‘Maqbool’, ‘The Namesake’ and ‘Haider’ to name a few. She is an actress who has always accepted challenges and I am honoured to have her in my film.

Hailing Tabu‘s incorporation in the film, “a casting coup of sorts”, UTV too decided to keep up hush about the purpose for Rekha’s stun takeoff from the undertaking, despite the fact that a great deal of introductory reputation of the movie revolved around the vicinity of the evergreen diva.

“Tabu is a performance powerhouse and after our association with her on ‘The Namesake’ and most recently on ‘Haider’, we are looking forward to working with her again on ‘Fitoor’,” said Amrita Pandey from UTV in a statement.

Fitoor is based on Charles Dickens' novel Great Expectations, produced by Siddharth Roy Kapur and directed by Abhishek Kapoor. The film stars Tabu, Aditya Roy Kapur and Katrina Kaif in leading roles.
