Here's
Why
Salman
&
Sohail
Are
Upset
With
Ekta
A
source
told
the
Deccan
Chronicle,
"In
fact,
the
Sohail-directed
Jai
Ho
(2014)
starring
Salman
was
originally
meant
to
be
titled
Mental.
For
a
long
time,
Kabir
Khan
was
toying
with
the
idea
of
naming
Tubelight
as
Mental."
Ekta
Stole
The
Thunder
From
Salman?
"The
title
Mental
was
with
Salman
and
Sohail
for
the
longest
time.
Now
before
they
could
use
it,
Ekta
has
gone
and
announced
her
film,
Mental
Hai
Kya.
That
move
has
stolen
the
thunder
from
the
Khans'
intended
title.
The
least
Ekta
could've
done
was
to
ask
Salman
or
Sohail
-
they
would've
been
given
it
to
her."
Sohail
Was
Visibly
Pissed
When
an
entertainment
portal
asked
Sohail
Khan
if
he
himself
has
given
the
title
to
Ekta,
he
said,
"No,
we
haven't
given
Ekta
the
title,
Mental.
She
hasn't
even
asked
us."
Did
You
Know?
MHK
Was
First
Offered
To
Kareena
&
She
Rejected
It
DNA
quoted
a
source
close
to
the
project,
as
saying,
"In
2013,
Ekta
had
pitched
the
idea
to
Bebo.
She
wanted
to
get
Kareena
and
Emraan
Hashmi
on
board
for
the
film,
which
was
previously
titled
Badtameez
Dil.
But
it
never
materialised."
Why
Bebo
Rejected
The
Film?
"Bebo
felt
that
the
storyline
was
way
ahead
of
its
time.
It
was
dark
and
explosive
in
many
ways.
It
also
had
several
bold
scenes
and
nudity.
Kareena
politely
refused
the
film
and
it
was
put
on
the
back
burner."
How
Kangana
Came
In
The
Picture?
Reportedly,
five
years
later,
the
team
reworked
on
the
story
and
when
Kangana
heard
it,
it
was
an
instant
‘yes'
from
her.
"The
team
has
reworked
the
story,
which
has
turned
out
even
bolder
now.
Kangana
loved
it
and
agreed
to
do
the
film
immediately."
After
Kangana,
Rajkummar
Rao
Came
On
Board
"Ekta
feels
people
are
ready
for
a
film
like
this
and
Kangana
is
perfect
to
play
the
main
role.
There's
no
denying
that
she's
a
terrific
actress.
Her
never-give-a-damn
attitude
echoes
with
her
on-screen
character,
too," added
the
source.
