Taapsee dropped from MGR

Well, Taapsee and Anjali have been finalized for Sundar C’s next movie with Vishal tentatively titled Madha Gaja Raja (MGR). Though Taapsee had tweeted she had date issues and needed to opt out, the most recent buzz is that she was replaced within the project with Varalaxmi.According to a source within the unit, Taapsee were signed on or even allotted dates from June 25 to July 10 for the shoot in Palani. The actress then, apparently, wanted a couple of days off within the first week of July to advertise her Hindi flick, Chashme Badhoor.

“People from her team told the filmmakers that she wouldn't board the flight unless she was given a couple of days off,” alleges the source, adding, “How can any artist do that once the schedule was set with everyone?”

And what’s worse, the source adds, is that the actress also apparently called comedian Santhanam and asked him to allot the similar dates as her in August in order that she alone won’t be held liable for any schedule change.

“This is totally unethical and unprofessional behaviour on her part. Is she using Tamil cinema as a stop-gap arrangement to make it big in Bollywood?” the source states.

When we contacted director Sundar, he refused to touch upon anything except saying, “Yes, Anjali and Varalaxmi are a part of my film.”
