Pity the Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker! His latest flick 'Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se' has become a talk of B-town. The reason is its continuous change of female lead. Ashutosh Gowariker is very much upset as he continuously faces denial by actresses after actresses. First, the director approached Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to play the female lead, but the lady said no to Ashutosh for the reasons best known to her. Then, he tried to rope in 'Ghajini's Asin who also declined the offer. She is said to found nothing substantial for her in the final script.
Now, Sonam Kapoor too had turned down to be the female lead in Gowariker's period drama. Her reason is apparent; she is skeptical of pairing again with Abhishek as their last movie, 'Delhi-6', had proved a flop. Also, Gowariker's last movie 'What's Your Rashee?' also failed to create any impact at the box-office. So, the Kapoor girl acted smart to cite date problems and steer clear of any more flops. Now we're told Bachchan junior and Deepika Padukone wouldn't mind doing it. Wonder if those who have declined the offer would repent later.
