Speaking of Ranbir Kapoor, as per DNA, a close source told the portal, “We had finalised Ranbir for the film but things didn’t work out and so he’s no longer a part of the project." There is not much time left for us to finalise another person for the role since we start shooting in two months maximum. We were happy with Ranbir coming in but you know sometimes things don’t work out. Stars are busy with dates and sometimes something else comes up. We have to get someone fast."
Reports during that time also made rounds that RK backed out of the film due to its adult content. Well, that was little 'did you know' from Delhi Belly. Hope you liked it. Apart from the star cast and terrific storyline, the movie also had some kickass songs like Bhaag DK Bose, Switty Switty Tera Pyaar Chaida, Bedardi Raj, which still fan favourites. Stay tuned!
