Actress Kriti Sanon says she stepped out of Parbhudheva's directorial "Singh Is Bling" as it was constantly getting delayed and also because its dates were clashing with her other projects.

"I'm not doing 'Singh Is Bling' now. I think you all must have read. The film was getting delayed for many reasons," the actress said here on Tuesday at the launch of Spring-Summer collection of the store Aldo.

"Now when the film is starting, its dates are clashing with my other projects, so I chose not to do it," she added.

The 24-year-old, who made her Bollywood debut with Sajid Nadiadwala's "Heropanti" last year, said she was keen to feature in the movie.

"I was preparing a lot for the film. Akshay Kumar and Prabhudheva are a team that you always want to be a part of, she said, but added that she does not regret her decision to step out from the film.

"It is a mutual decision. Producer (of 'Singh Is Bling') Ashvini Yardi and I tried a lot to work out the dates, but nothing worked. Then we mutually decided that I step out of the film," she said.

After the "Heropanti" actress' exit from the film, Amy Jackson has been roped in opposite Akshay in the film. Kriti feels "Amy suits the role perfectly".

"Now Amy Jackson is doing the film. Since I know the script, I can say she suits the role perfectly and I wish her all the best."

Meanwhile, there are reports that Kriti has signed filmmaker Rohit Shetty's film.

However, she refused to divulge any details and said: "I'm really sorry as I won't be able to comment on that film right now. Wait for some more time, you will hear everything about the film...I will talk about the film when the time is right."
