Abhishek Kapoor’s Fitoor, his ambitious Bollywood adaptation of Charles Dickens’ novel Great Expectations, suffered a blow as veteran actress Rekha, who was cast as Miss Havisham, has walked out of the film.
The 60-year-old actress was apparently not happy with the way her role had shaped up in the movie. But there is not much clarity on what prompted the actress to leave the film after most of the shooting was already complete.
Haider star Tabu has replaced Rekha in the film, which centres around Katrina Kaif and Aditya Roy Kapoor’s characters.
“Tabu has given some incredible performances in Maqbool, The Namesake and Haider to name a few. She is an actress who has always accepted challenges and I am honoured to have her in my film,” Abhishek said in a statement without commenting on Rekha’s exit.
