There is confusion for the team of Jai Ramji. Though the makers are claiming that Jacqueline Fernandes has been confirmed as the leading lady opposite Arjun Rampal, the Murder 2 girl is saying that nothing has been finalised yet. And the chances are minimal that she would even be able to accommodate the film in her current schedule.
“Director Tigmanshu Dhulia wants to start Jai Ramji pretty soon but Jackie will be travelling with Sajid Khan’s Housefull 2 cast and crew in a fortnight’s time. Also Jacqueline has to make time for the promotion of Murder 2 in India as well as abroad. It is nearly impossible for her to be in India and shoot for Jai Ramji,” says a source close to the actor.
On the other hand the makers of Jai Ramji are gung-ho about Jackie being a part of the film. Jackie’s role in the film is like that of Pooja Batra’s in Virasat.
Even Jackie has been heard telling her friends that she finds the role very challenging as it is quite performance oriented, but since she is battling with date problems, she hasn’t signed on the dotted line. In fact she is surprised that an announcement has been made in this regard when nothing has been confirmed yet. When contacted, Jackie was hesitant to talk about the film. She acknowledged on being approached for the role but denied having signed the film. “I haven’t confirmed it yet. it starts now, I don’t really see myself doing,” she says. Looks like Jackie has pretty much waved Jai Ramji to the film here.
