Mona Singh apparently put Karan Johar's 'Gippi' team in trouble when she allegedly walked out of the movie just a few days before the shoot was to start.

A source close to the project reveals, “Mona had been signed on to play the role of Gippi’s mother in the movie. Gippi is a teenager and the film revolves around the problems faced by adolescents. She was the first choice and all the required paperwork was done. However, just close to a week before the unit could take off to Shimla for the shoot, she backed out.”

Apparently, Mona did not want to play a mommy-role so early in her career. The source says, “It was quite a task to sort out the situation. However, the makers approached actor Divya Dutta and she took up the offer. Karan is delighted and indebted to her for coming on board on such short notice.”

Ask director Sonam Nair about this and she says, “Yes, this happened. She (Mona) said she would do the film and then thought over her decision again. Divya was always on the list, so it worked out.”

Mona remained unavailable for a comment.
