Saqib Saleem and
sister Huma Qureshi are famously close. The Bollywood siblings will be seen
together in the horror flick Dobaara and the first film under their home banner
too is supposed to go on floors soon.
All good, but
here comes the kicker. Saqib Saleem had a contract with Yash Raj Films and the
actor has recently decided to step away from it. That struck us as a surprising
career choice because the banner is home to stars like Anushka Sharma and
Parineeti Chopra.

Apparently, when
your career is handled by Yashraj Films Talent, you are not left a lot of time
to focus on projects from other banners, including your own.
Huma and Saqib
are keen on producing films under their own banner and while that has not
stopped the actress from going ahead and signing films, her brother has ended a
coveted contract.

The actor
had now signed up with another talent management agency named Exceed.
When we contacted
Saqib to get his take on the news he sent us a message, saying: "Yes I
have left YRF and moved to Exceed but the YRF contract wasn't the reason for it
nor did it bind me in anyway."
Dear Saqib, if
that wasn't the reason then why would you choose to end representation from one
of the most prestigious brands in Bollywood?

Meanwhile, a
source told us that the siblings’ first project is still in its early stages.
Saqib’s sister
Huma meanwhile has signed a film opposite Southern megastar Rajinikanth.
While Huma is
creating a splash, why is Saqib putting his career on the backburner? Do you
think Saqib is doing the right thing? Tell us on Facebook.
