Yami Gautam refuses to wear a bikini
Actress Yami Gautam made her Bollywood debut with ��Vicky Donor�۪ (2012), which had quite a bold subject.�� It comes as a surprise then to hear that she has turned down Abhishek Sharma�۪s ��Shaukeen�۪, starring Akshay Kumar in the lead, because she is uncomfortable with the idea of wearing a bikini onscreen. ��The role has now gone to Lisa Haydon.
A source speaking to��Absolute India said, ���Yami missed an opportunity to work with a big star like Akshay Kumar due to her reservations to wear a bikini.�� Though Lisa was being considered too at the same time, the makers of ��Shaukeen�۪ were keen to sign Yami to play Akshay�۪s love interest.�
The Abhishek Sharma directed film is a remake of Basu Chatterjee�۪s 1982 release with the same name.�� The film was earlier to see Nargis Fakhri in the lead role but Fakhri later opted out, apparently as she had been offered a Hollywood film directed by Paul Feig.
Yami Gautam will be seen next alongside Ajay Devgn and Sonakshi Sinha in Prabhu Deva�۪s ��Action Jackson�۪.
