Mamta has left Dileep high and dry! She has walked out of Dileep’s new untitled film to be directed by Kamal.
The shooting of the film was to start at Ooty from Aug 21, but has now been postponed.
The grapevine is abuzz that Mamta backed out of the project after hearing news that Aishwarya Rai had flu which she contacted while shooting for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan in Ooty.
Mamta’s mother had told the producers that she is suffering from “severe fever” and is not in a position to come for the shoot.
Mamta had recently made waves in Malayalam with her Passenger, where she played Dileep’s wife and an investigative television reporter. The film was a hit and Kamal wanted to repeat the pair.
