Merely a month since Mohit Suri announced the male lead in his upcoming 'Half Girlfriend', it is known that lead Sushant Singh Rajput has walked out of the project citing date issues.
When contacted, the actor confirmed the news saying, “It's unfortunate. I was excited about working with Ekta again but the dates didn't work out. The team wanted the same dates as that of Dinno's film (Dinesh Vijan's untitled film) which I will be doing next. I had committed the dates long back and hence, had no option but to pull out of the project.” The first look of Dinesh Vijan's upcoming romantic film was released recently, where the actor is seen alongside Kriti Sanon, who plays his ladylove in the movie.
While there have been many speculations about the leading lady in 'Half Girlfriend', including names like Alia Bhatt and the recent Kriti Sanon being tossed around, the makers have always maintained that they are still working on the same. Guess, they have more than one lead to hunt for now.
The film is an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel by the same name.
