Anushka Shetty, who was tipped to be the heroine of Kamal Haasan's magnum opus ‘Viswaroopam’, has walked out of the project, citing date troubles, say reports.

“Anushka was quite impressed by the script and was on the verge of signing on the dotted line but her other commitments forced her to reverse the decision,” say sources.

According to circles close Anushka, she does not have the dates available for Kamal Hassan’s movie. Following this, Kamal is likely to rope in a top Bollywood actress to play his heroine in the bilingual.

A media reports said that a Tollywood actor, who guides Anushka, has advised her to politely decline the role in ‘Viswaroopam’, citing date problems. However, there is no official announcement yet.
