When Manoj landed on the film’s set, Juhi was aghast to know that he will be playing the role of the quizmaster. We hear, the actress threw a ruckus, demanding that he be replaced. Reason?
A source told SpotboyE, “Juhi said he looks too poor to be playing the role of a quizmaster. She felt that they should get a sophisticated actor for the part.” (Ironically, Manoj plays an academician in his next film, the Hansal Mehta-directed Aligarh.)
Director Jayant Gilatar tried to talk her out of the situation but the actress was adamant. Since there was no way out, the director and producer had to finally relent to her demand. They dropped Manoj like a hot potato and roped in the more ‘sophisticated-looking’ Rishi Kapoor.
Manoj remained unavailable for comment. As for Juhi, clearly she has forgotten her Swami days when she was more than happy to play the female lead opposite Manoj.
