Recently, there were rumours that Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma has already selected a script which will be her next production venture. Producer Prernaa Arora will join hands with the actress for the same film. This will be their second film together. There were also speculations that Sara Ali Khan was to star in this film. But apparently, the entire scenario hasn't really worked out.

A source said, “Sara’s debut film, 'Kedarnath' will release in December next year. Abhishek Kapoor, who is directing the film, doesn’t want her to sign any other film as he feels that will distract her from her first movie outing. The team will finish shooting the film around June next year and then, there’s a lot of CGI work that needs to be done. Gattu wants Sara to concentrate completely on 'Kedarnath' till the release of the film. Since Prernaa is the common link, the team mutually decided that Sara won’t be doing Anushka’s film anymore. But this development happened after a bit of an internal clash.”

Apparently, this decision has left Sara's mother Amrita Singh upset. The source added, “Amrita is extremely involved in her daughter’s career and she doesn’t agree with Abhishek’s thinking. She feels it’s okay for her to sign another project while shooting for 'Kedarnath', and the two have been discussing and arguing over this.”

Talking about Anushka's film, the source added, "It’s a woman-centric drama, which also has a thriller element to it. It has been tentatively titled 'Bulbul' and revolves around the character that was offered to Sara. The newcomer had loved the script and was keen to be a part of the project. Unfortunately, that couldn’t happen.”

The film is expected to go on floors around July next year. Stay tuned for more updates.
