Ash, Abhi's sagaai irks Gowariker
By: Vickey Lalwani
January 20, 2007

After the release of YashRaj Film's Dhoom:2, Ashutosh Gowariker was over the moon about his decision to cast Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in Jodha Akbar (produced by UTV). Their superb chemistry made his film's prospects very rosy.

Knotty affair

Today, however, Gowariker is extremely miffed with his leading lady and is making no bones about it on the sets of Jodha Akbar in Karjat, where the film has started rolling for a new schedule.

The change in Gowariker's frame of mind is courtesy Ash and Abhishek Bachchan's impending marriage. When the buzz about their impending shaadi started trickling in, an uneasy Gowariker tried to get Ash to sign an agreement declaring she wouldn't get married before the release of his film. But Ash somehow managed to ease his apprehensions and the cameras continued to roll.

Ashutosh Gowariker

On January 14, when the Bachchans and Rais revelled in the engagement celebration, Gowariker fumed.

Sceptical Ashutosh

Says a source, "There is a lot of money riding on Jodha Akbar, and Ashutosh feels that the audience might not accept Ash and Hrithik in his film now that she is getting married. Hence, he did not want her to
get married before Jodha Akbar releases. But now, there is little he can do about it."

Gowariker's displeasure said it all, when the actress returned to the set a day after the engagment. There was no warm welcome or good wishes from the director, the unit or her co-stars.

The source further adds, "When Ash reached Karjat to shoot with him on January 15 (a day after her engagement), no one even congratulated her or asked her about her engagement. It was a very normal day of shoot as if nothing had happened."

The actress shot only for a day and returned to Mumbai. She will rejoin the cast and crew when the new schedule starts in full swing from January 23. Whether Ashutosh's fears are justified, only time will tell.

Well, it is very mean of Gowariker. As long as shooting is not affected by Ash & Abhi's marriage, why should he bother about their personal life. He can make more movies in life but time for the actors will not be same once it slips away.
