Even before the formal announcement, Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali that went on floors is generating a lot of talk. From last-minute actor replacements to director Farhad Samji’s absence from the set, there was a lot going on. Although everything appears to be in order for the time being, Shehnaaz Gill, who will be making her Bollywood debut with the film, is now reconsidering her decision to work on it.
Aayush Sharma had previously stated that he had pulled out of the film due to a creative disagreement with the producers. Following his departure, Zaheer Iqbal also departed the project. Amid Khan and other producers working on a solution have already identified replacements, with Jassie Gill and Sidharth Nigam joining the cast.
Now, a source close to the production told Bollywood Life, “Shehnaaz who is all set for her Bollywood debut with his film is damn upset and even clueless with the developments and is reconsidering her thoughts about doing the film.”
“Shehnaaz Gill is not very happy that Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is gaining negative publicity and critics are wondering that even if the film will be made or will get shelved,” added the source.
The source further shares, “Gill has complete faith in her mentor Salman Khan and he has assured her to have patience as everything will fall in place, Shehnaaz is damn excited for her debut and has stated her prep for the same. The girl is very much aware of the love that the audience has given her and she doesn’t want to let them down and so she is trying to give more than 100 per cent. She has been also working on her accent and speaking Hindi fluently and we cannot be more proud of her.”
