Shahid to Dance with Shakira Instead of Hrithik?

Daijiworld Media Network – Entertainment Mumbai, Nov 10: Now since Mexican pop-star Shakira has requested to share the stage with an Indian actor for industrialist K P Singh’s birthday bash in Udaipur, the organizer’s first choice was Hrithik Roshan. However, due to his slip disc problem, the actor backed out. It is learnt that the organizers are now planning to approach Shahid Kapoor to step in to Hrithik’s shoes. But since the offer is being made at the last moment, it is uncertain if Shahid will accept the offer. A source close to Hrithik said, “Hrithik had agreed to dance alongside Shakira for the event, but his back is giving him too much trouble these days.” It was only during the final stages that Hrithik decided to opt out of the event as he felt that he would not be able to sustain himself on stage for long. “The contract required him to dance. If it had required him to go onto the stage for a brief while or do a small skit, he would have done it. But they wanted a full fledged performance from him. He ultimately had to say no to them,” said the source.
