Balan reportedly wants to continue starring in female-led movies after the success of The Dirty Picture.
A source told The Times of India: "For quite some time, Vidya Balan was being considered for the female lead, to be paired opposite John Abraham. John plays the character of the notorious gangster Manya Surve and Vidya was to play his girlfriend.
"So she opted out of the project but on a very amicable note and there is absolutely no bad blood."
The insider added: "The fresh pairing of John and Kangana should add to the merit [of the film]."
In November, Ranaut claimed that 2012 will be her most important year in Bollywood.
