Every actress dreams to work with our Bollywood's most sexy actor Salman, and Jiah Khan was lucky enough to have initially picked by Sallu but, it was the actresses' 'speaks too much' habit that costed her the role.
Salman Khan was in fact the one, who initially recommended Jiah's name to Boney Kapoor and asked him to sign her for the female lead in 'Pokhiri'. Besides, Sallu also went against the director Prabhudeva's proposed choice, Asin, for the role and pushed for Jiah.
Now, when a reporter asked Jiah if she would be excited if she got s chance to act opposite Salman? To which, the nave newcomer replied, "That'll be really cool if it were to happen but, his girlfriend would be really pissed off; I don't know Salman at all."
This obviously did not go too well with both Salman and Boney, who then, decided to drop Jiah from the film. So Jiah's exit made way for Ayesha Takia, who after seeing a special screening of the Telugu version of 'Pokhiri', agreed to do the movie. Ayesha will start shooting for the movie in July and is quite excited about working with Salman.
So what if Ayesha couldn't become Aamir's 'Ghajni', she is more than happy being Sallu's 'Pokhiri'
