Not doing Chehre due to date issues, says Kriti

Mumbai: Actor Kriti Kharbanda said she is no longer part of Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi starrer Chehre primarily due to date issues.

There have been reports that Kriti had a fallout with the producers of Chehre and hence she is not part of the film.

At a special screening of her recently released film Pagalpanti, Kriti clarified she is not doing Chehre due to date issues.

"Unfortunately, I have left the film and we have mutually decided that I will no longer be a part of that film.

Shooting of the film was supposed to begin in August-September but then it got pushed to October-November.

"And I already had commitments for Housefull 4 and Pagalpanti so unfortunately there was nothing that I could do to change my dates," Kriti told reporters here at the special screening.

Few days back, the producer of the film – Anand Pandit's production house Anand Pandit Motion Pictures, issued a clarification on social media, stating, "In the light of recent media reports, we wish to clarify that @kriti_official and @apmpictures have mutually agreed to part ways on a cordial and professional note. We wish her success in all her future endeavours."

Chehre is directed by Rumy Jaffery and is slated to release on April 24, 2020.
