'PK' star Sushant Singh Rajput has been opted out of the film 'Half Girlfriend', yes fans you have heard it right! Sushant is not playing the lead in Mohit Suri's 'Half Girlfriend'. That is an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's bestselling novel, 'Half Girlfriend'.

According to media reports Sushant recently opened up saying, "It's unfortunate. I was excited about working with Ekta (Kapoor) again but the dates didn't work out. The team wanted the same dates as that of Dinesh Vijan film, which I'm doing next. Since I had committed dates for it long ago, I didn't have an option but to pull out of Mohit's next".

Dinesh Vijan movie is a love story that was earlier supposed to feature Sushant and Alia Bhatt in the lead. But the actress opted for Shhuddhi over this film. When asked who would replace her, Sushant said, "That's not my job to know, I don't sign a film on the basis of the heroine. For me the script is the priority, followed by my equation with the director and the pay cheque. In this case, I don't think the script has changed or I would have known." Seems like, the hunt has now stopped at Kriti Sanon.
