Tabu rejected Shahrukh’s Billoo Barber!!!

It is known recently that Amisha Patel has signed Shah Rukh Khan’s Billoo Barber, where SRK is playing the role of Krishna and Irrfan Khan is playing the role of Sudama. We heard that SRK had offered this role to Tabu first, but Tabu rejected it. Reason for her rejection was certainly that the role did not offer much for her. But there’s another reason too. And that’s the presence of Irfan Khan in the starring list. It’s a fact that Tabu and Irfan Khan have crackling chemistry on screen and a bitter relationship outside. The main draw of The Namesake was the draw of Tabu and Irfan for each other in Maqbool; they were red hot with each other. But it’s also true that for the most part they didn’t talk to each other all through the making of The Namesake.
The dislike is not really mutual. It’s more on Tabu’s part than Irfan’s. Her annoyance with Irfan comes from the fact that he likes to let on as if they are truly drawn to each other off-screen as well. A close friend of Tabu said that Tabu does not like Irfan showing the world that there is more to their relationship than actually is. For instance, with other people around, he talks to her more personally on the phone than he would otherwise. It annoys Tabu. The dislike became visible when the media once asked Tabu about the party that Uma Thurman had thrown for the cast of The Namesake. She replied that it was not a big deal, what can she say? She also said them to ask Irfan about that, as he likes to talk about those things.
