Ileana planned to leave Barfi. Goan Beauty Ileana D Cruz after giving sleepless nights with her glamor treat in Tollywood romancing top stars in Tollywood flew to Bollywood. She captured the imagination of all with the film Barfi in which she shared screen presence with Ranbir Kapoor under the direction of Anurag Kashyap.
Now, speaking to scribes, Ileana said she thought of walking out of Barfi due to this reason. She said "One morning, I just walked in super happy in the morning on set and I was like, hey, how's it going? And he was in a very bad mood. Something ticked him off and he lashed out on me and I got really offended. So, I said, Dada, listen, if you think I'm not right, for this role and if you're not happy with the work I've done, I'll leave. I'm not going to sue you. I will leave. I love the story so much and it won't make me happy to be in a film like this if you don't think I'm right for the part. He went one way I went the other way crying and called the producer. And I said, no, I'm leaving,”
She continued “I spoke to Vidya's husband, Sid, and he said he's on his way, just do the scenes. So I go, get ready, have my makeup on, And Dada comes walking back in and he's the only one who used to call me Ilu. I don't allow anybody call me Ilu. And he just simply said that I walked in at a bad time, and not to take him seriously. We laughed it off and hugged it out."
