We told you how after the Hindi adaptation of The Devotion Of Suspect X hit a roadblock, Sujoy moved on to make Reunion (Sujoy won't wait for Ash and Saif anymore, July 21).
Now, casting troubles seem to plague this project too. We've learnt that a narration was given to National Award-winning actor Rajkummar Rao. However, after showing initial interest in the film revolving around college friends reuniting after a span of time, he has refused to do it.
Ditto with Pakistani sensation Ali Zafar, who had been sounded off too.
A source told SpotboyE.com, "Both had certain issues in the way the film will be presented and laid out their reservations to Sujoy. He was left shocked as he felt these were actors who wouldn't throw star-like demands."
While Sujoy struggles to find actors for the male leads, he's already sounded off Taapsee Pannu (of Baby fame) for the female lead but formalities are yet to start. "His main concern is getting the boys. He needs 4 of them and 2 of them are already out."
In the past, both Kangana Ranaut and Vidya Balan unceremoniously dumped Sujoy on a film titled Durga Rani Singh while Suspect X too went through its share of casting nightmares before being finally put in cold storage by Ekta Kapoor.
