Anushka Sharma is learning that being a producer can be a tough experience indeed. Sources close to the actress told us that she is upset about her decision to replace Rajkummar Rao with Neil Bhoopalam in her home production NH10. “Now that Rajkummar has won the National Award for Shahid, he has suddenly become an industry favourite. In fact, the Dolly Ki Doli team has been promoting him as the star of their film, even though the lead, Sonam Kapoor, is better known,” an industry insider pointed out.
Our source also told us that Anushka tried to make amends with Raj by getting a common friend to play mediator, although the attempt proved unsuccessful. “Raj hasn’t forgotten how he was dropped from the film without even being informed. He got to know from news reports that he has been replaced and he felt that it was very unprofessional on Anushka’s part. He doesn’t seem to be in a forgiving mood and would rather work with those who supported him during his days as a struggler in the industry,” our source said.
