Mumbai, June 19: With a superstar Shahid Kapur as her son Neelima Azim never had to worry about hunting for a lead actor for her debut project until now. Waiting endlessly for her son to give a green signal to her dream project Neelima seems to have had no option but to look for an alternative male lead for her directorial debut film. Working with top-notch banners and the filmdom famous taskmasters, Shahid seems to have no time to help his mother realise her dreams. According to the latest Bollywood buzz, Shahid has not only snubbed his mother’s offer but is also avoiding her altogether. Met with such spiteful antics, Azim has now approached Emran Hashmi. But as luck would have it Hashmi too has refused to play the part. Known for working under the protective wings of the Bhatts, Hashmi didn’t want to take the risk of working with a new director. Speaking to a news daily, Emraan said, “Yes, she approached me for a film but I am not doing it.” Confirming the news a daily quoted a source as saying, “Neelima Azim was extremely confident that Shahid would act in her film. However, Shahid opted to do a film with his father instead. Neelima tried repeatedly to rope him in, but her attempts were futile. Finally, Shahid even stopped taking her calls and did not even meet her.” Well looks like Shahid is not a mama’s boy.
