Amy Jackson admits choosing ‘I’ over Salman Khan’s ‘Kick’

Amy Jackson is all set to make a comeback in Bollywood in Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Singh is Bling’. However, after three years off the scene, Jackson is admitting that she’s lost touch with Salman Khan with whom she was friendly with at the time of her debut in 2012.

Jackson was introduced in ‘Ek Deewana Tha’ opposite Prateik Babbar. Talking about how she landed ‘Singh is Bling’, she told Mumbai Mirror, “My agent told me that producer Ashwini Yardi was looking for a girl to replace Kriti Sanon who wasn’t a part of Singh is Bling anymore. I met Akshay (Kumar), the narration happened and we were on! Now, Ashwini is handling my work too”.

She also confirmed that she was offered Khan’s ‘Kick’ (2014) but has to turn it down, “I just couldn’t find the time for them. In fact, I was offered Kick but Shankar had a major chunk of my dates for I, so I chose him over the Salman Khan-starrer”.

Continuing on Khan, Jackson further commented, “No, I haven’t kept in touch with Salman. He’s a huge star and I am hoping to get another opportunity to work with him”.

The actress also said she is now learning Hindi and that she is no longer in touch with ex beau Babbar anymore.
