    Tabu replaces Rekha in Fitoor?

    The legendry actress Rekha has been replaced by Tabu for upcoming film Fitoor. The news came from a tweet of film critic Rajeev Masand. He tweeted, “Tabu replaces Rekha as the Miss Havisham character in Great Expectations adap Fitoor starring Aditya Roy Kapoor & Katrina Kaif”.

    However, there is no confirmation from the side of the veteran actress or director. Previously, the news flashed that the actress was not happy with some portions of the film and asked the director to re-shoot those parts. Later a source close to the film confirmed that the shoot has been extended as per the request of the veteran actress. He said, “Even though Gattu was satisfied with the scenes in question, he readily agreed to oblige Rekhaji and has extended the shoot by a few extra days. On Monday, they were at Mehboob studio reshooting a sequence”.

    It seems that things did not work out and Rekha was replaced by the Haider actress, who was apparently the first choice of the director. The makers have already wrapped up the final schedule of the flick. If Tabu is to replace Rekha, the release of the film might be delayed. As of now, the Abhishek Kapoor directorial is scheduled for an early 2016 release.
