Just a few days ago, one heard of Tabu turning down a role in Shah Rukh's Billoo Barber, which is being directed by Priydarshan. The film is being produced by SRK's production house Red Chillies and will star SRK and Irrfan Khan in the lead roles.

Tabu is believed to have had two reasons for turning down SRK's offer. Firstly, she wasn't too keen to act with Irrfan Khan and secondly, the role was not meaty enough to excite her. Amisha Patel was then roped in by the makers. But now it seems that even Amisha has opted out of the film due to the same reason-- the role is too miniscule. The film which is based on the story of Krishna and Sudama, will naturally centre on SRK and Irrfan Khan. Amisha rightly feels that she may be caught in the same situation as in Priyadarshan's Bhool Bhulaiya, where she hardly had anything to do. The role offered to her here was that of Billo Barber's wife. Amisha is trying to resurrect her career and feels that small appearances like the one in Billoo Barber will not be of any help to her. Anyway with Amisha out, it seems Priyadarshan may just opt for someone from the South as he wants to start the film soon.
