The fall-out between Kareena Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali over Ram
Leela was rumoured to be over money issues.
However, the latest buzz
suggests that the Heroine star was dropped out of the film as she
refused to sign the no pregnancy clause in her contract.
The latest clause in thecontracts of leading ladies (married, engaged or those in
live-in relationships) specifies that the actress agree to not get
pregnant during the time of the principal photography because filmmakers
do not wish to sit on the set, minding the baby (pun intended) while
their shooting is in progress.
A reliable source tells us that Sanjay
Leela Bhansali, like all practical filmmakers, reportedly wanted Kareena
Kapoor to sign a contract with a clause that said she will not get
pregnant during the making of Ram Leela.
Madhur Bhandarkar had landed in a fix when Aishwarya Rai Bachchan got
pregnant during making of Heroine, which later went to his original
choice Kareena Kapoor. Taking cue from the fimmaker, Sanjay didn't want
to risk his film.
The bone of contention between Bebo and Bhansali wasn't the money; as is being speculated in the media. It is reportedly the pregnancy clause that Bebo refused to sign.
