Mumbai, Jan 20 (TruthDive): Jacqueline Fernandez has lost Vikram Bhatt’s Raaz 3 as she refused to wear skimpy clothes, reports say.
After walking out from Krissh 3, over a kiss issue, she recently lost another big role in Vikram Bhatt’s Raaz 3, where Esha Gupta has replaced her.
Jacqueline Fernandez became a hot favourite of the Bhatt banner after the success of Murder 2 (2011). She was then signed on for the third instalment of their horror franchise, Raaz, which is supposed to be made in 3D. But apparently, the filmmakers have now dismissed the contract with her.
As reported, Jacqueline refused to wear revealing clothes for the film. Mukesh Bhatt even hinted that her decision was influenced by that of her boyfriend Sajid Khan. Jacqueline Fernandez, who earlier had no problems wearing skimpy clothes, is turning down stating that she does not want to wear revealing clothes anymore.
Though Jacqueline has signed a contract with the Bhatts for Raaz 3 admitting to do intimate scenes and wear glamorous clothes, later told the Bhatts that she was not ready to wear short clothes. The Raaz filmmakers in turn asked her to quit and replaced her with Esha Gupta. Jacqueline was to play the role of Bipasha Basu’s younger sister in Raaz 3.
Sources inform that her boyfriend and director Sajid Khan has advised her against doing the role. He told her it’s time for her to stop doing sleazy B-grade roles if she wants to become an A-list actress.
Confirming the news, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, says, “Yes. Jacqueline is not in Raaz 3 anymore. Actor Esha Gupta will be playing the role instead.” Bhatt adds, “Everyone knows she’s on remote control. Only time will tell who made a blunder, us or Jackie”.
This will be the second film in a row with the Bhatts for debutant Esha Gupta, since she is also playing the female lead opposite Emraan Hashmi in Jannat 2. But, Jacqueline, the Sri Lankan model-turned-actor is not in dearth of projects. She will be seen in two big-ticket sequels — alleged boyfriend Sajid Khan’s Housefull 2 and director duo, Abbas- Mustan’s Race 2.
