Trouble brewing between Karan Johar and Shirish Kunder?

Shirish Kunder delays 'Ungli'?

After his public spat with Shah Rukh Khan, there now seems to be problems allegedly between Shirish Kunder and Karan Johar.

Mumbai Mirror reports that the problems escalated after Kunder walked out of editing Johar’s much delayed film ‘Ungli’ – which Kunder is also being blamed for. The film stars Emraan Hashmi, Kangana Ranaut and Sanjay Dutt – this will be the third time the film has been pushed back.

A source close to Karan told Mirror, “Ungli has two songs now, one composed by Salim Sulaiman has been retained and the second is by Sachin Jigar. Even now, Karan is meeting several composers to incorporate two fresh songs.”

The report adds that the main reason why the film could not release on 23rd May is because the film has had to be re-edited from scratch.

Added the source, “Karan was not happy with what Shirish Kunder, who was initially editing the film, had cut. So, Deepa Bhatia who has worked on films like Rock On!, Taare Zameen Par and My Name is Khan, was summoned to re-edit the film from scratch. Shirish anyway was more interested in producing a film whose script is almost ready.”

When contacted, director Rensil D’Silva confirmed that Ungli will not hit theatres on May 23. “A chain of events have contributed to the delay. Yes, first, it was the Sanju factor. Then, Shirish Kunder walked out and Deepa Bhatia walked in to edit the film. But let me tell you that we have made a really good film. Once we are done with recording and shooting the two new songs, we shall announce a fresh release date,” says D’Silva.
