Sidharth Malhotra and Sree Leela
Uh oh, it appears that Sidharth Malhotra will take a while longer to come out with his next release. Talk in the trade is that the actor has opted out of Kabir Singh and Animal producer Murad Khetani’s next, tentatively titled Mitti. Sources attribute the actor’s exit to his creative differences with director Balwinder Singh Janjua. It is also being said that Sid was not too pleased that the makers couldn’t get a studio on board to back the action drama set in Uttarakhand. It’s another thing that the actor’s standing has been affected by the debacle of his last action outing, Yodha. The actor, who is said to have been trying to get a movie into production for some months now, has Dinesh Vijan’s romantic comedy in his kitty. Janhvi Kapoor is in advanced stages of discussion to play the leading lady opposite Sid. The Student of the Year actor is also likely to collaborate with mentor Karan Johar on his next. Meanwhile, Murad and Balwinder are looking for a suitable replacement for Sid in their family drama. It remains to be seen if south actor Sree Leela, who was finalised opposite Sid, will continue in the movie or opt out as the face of the project changes.
