For IndiaShows By Shashi Menon - 5/23/2006
Two of the hottest directors, who emerged from the formidable stables of Yash Raj Films, has decided to swap their respective heroines, perhaps, unintentionally. Shaad Ali had Rani Mukerjee in BUNTY AUR BABLI, while Siddharth Anand had Preity Zinta in SALAAM NAMASTE. But for their forthcoming films, while Shaad has signed Preity opposite Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham, Siddharth has hired Rani for his film co-starring Saif Ali Khan. Is it by design or convenience, both directors are not talking. They are after all protgs of the reticent, low-profile Aaditya Chopra!
