Mumbai:
Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has refused to work with Mallika Sherawat in the remake of his father's superhit film Amrapali , according to reports.
The grapervine has it that Sanju did show interest initially, but when he learnt about Mallika Sherawat being the lead, essayed by Legendary Vyjayanthimala in the original , he said no.
"When the makers first went to him, they hadn't zeroed in on the actress. At the time, Sanju was open to discussing the possibility of being a part of the film. When they returned to him a few weeks later, and suggested casting the Hissss actress in the film, he decided to back out. He said he had date problems and excused himself from the project," revealed a source.
It is not clear whether he was opposed to the actress on a personal level but he made it amply clear that he didn't want to work with the Murder actress.
Mallika and Sanjay are working in Dhamaal 2, but aren't paired together. The two have shot one schedule for Dhamaal 2.
A source from the production adds, "Sanju and Mallika have a cold war going on. It has something to do with the comfort he shares with Kangna Ranaut, who's also acting in the film. He is very fond of his Knock Out co-star, which has obviously not gone down well with Mallika. Also, he disapproves of her raunchy image. In fact, he had called her a badly dressed celebrity on Koffee with Karan once."Let's see who is the lucky guy opposite Mallika.
