After her cameo in R Balki’s ‘Shamitabh’, fans were excited to see Rekha get more screen time in ‘Fitoor’.
The team recently wrapped up its shooting schedule in Dehli and Srinagar. According to reports Rekha even re-shot some scenes of the film in Mumbai. But she has now been replaced by Tabu, who was the initial choice for the role.
It’s disappointing to know Rekha will not be a part of the highly-anticipated film, however it will be interesting to see Tabu essay the role of Miss Havisham, after her breathtaking performance in ‘Haider’.
