Reel Buzz: Fated and feted

Now that Sara Ali Khan has been announced as the lead actor opposite Ranveer Singh in the Rohit Shetty-Karan Johar co-production ‘Simmba’, the cat can be let out of the bag.Jahnvi Kapoor was also a contender for the part, and the first choice, in fact. And the script was narrated to both the debutantes.

Jahnvi, in her eagerness, apparently let out the news that she was being considered for the film even before she was confirmed. And now tongues are wagging that this is what cost her the film. Moreover, we hear she was also nervous about working opposite a big star like Ranveer, who, she felt, would be given more mileage.

Sara, on the other hand, just sat pretty and let fate do its job.
