Actor Hrithik Roshan is taking time off work due to his recurring headaches. The actor who underwent a brain surgery few months back hasn’t recuperated completely. And his health issues hasn’t done much good to his co-actors. While Bang Bang co-star Katrina Kaif has busied herself in Kabir Khan’s Phantom with Saif Ali Khan, actress Kareena Kapoor chose to continue her project with Farhan Akhtar in the meantime.

Kareena, who was to be seen opposite Hrithik in Karan Malhotra’s Shuddhi was aghast when her film’s shooting was delayed to mid-2014 now. The actress decided to first work on director Dev Benegal’s project with Farhan Akhtar, using up the idle window which Shuddhi‘s delay was creating for her. Dev Benegal’s project was scheduled to start end March, 2014 will now begin by February. The entire process has been sped up to accomodate the actress. The untitled film will be produced by Farhan Akhtar’s banner Excel Entertainment and will be an outright commercial outing from the director who is known for his off beat work.
