The film was originally scheduled to head on floor this September. Shahid couldn't manage dates for the film, which has now been postponed.
Both Sharma and Jaideep Sahni, who has written the tale and screenplay, together with Aditya Chopra have taken an artistic decision to include lip-sync songs, which have been earlier not a part of the film.
With other back-to-back projects, Shahid isn't capable of readjust his dates to deal with the revised schedule, said a press release from YRF.
Shahid has his hands full with three films - "Phata Poster Nikla Hero", Bejoy Nambiar's yet untitled film and Prabhu Deva's "Namak" opposite Sonakshi Sinha.
The director says he understands Shahid's hassles.
"Both Jaideep and i've decided to herald a few lip-sync songs in an effort to should be recorded before we will be able to go on floor. However, it's sad that Shahid has understandably needed to opt out for this reason delay, given his packed schedule going forward," said Sharma.
Meanwhile, YRF is alleged to be in talks with Shahid for one more project for next year.
