Rajat Kapoor out of Bheja Fry sequel

The actor who had a prominent role in Bheja Fry, has opted out of the sequel of the movie, reports Mumbai Mirror.

Rumour mills strongly suggest that he has chosen to walk out of the film as all is not well between him and his old friend Vinay Pathak.

He will now be replaced by Virendra Saxena in the film and the track which also involved Payal Rohatgi has been changed as the actress has also now opted out of the film following the exit of Rajat.

A source tells Mumbai Mirror, "Apparently there are problems between Rajat and Vinay Pathak which started during the world tour of The Last Mug, which is Rajat’s baby. Sagar Bellary the producer of the film has now finalised veteran actor Virendra Saxena for the film. Payal Rohatgi, who was to star opposite Rajat, has also opted out of the film.”

Payal Rohatgi also bade goodbye to movie since her role became insiginificant, “Yes, I was doing Bheja Fry 2 and everything was locked. Even my finances were sorted. However, at the last minute Rajat has dropped out of the film and the track has been changed. Now it doesn’t make sense for me to do the film and it is entirely my loss as I was looking forward to work with Sagar, Vinay and Rajat. In fact, I had a chat with Rajat, who asked me if I am still doing the film without him but I said now I am not.”
