Aishwarya was original choice for Manjulika

I still can’t believe this. Thank God the role went to Vidya

You don’t know think she wouldve played that the role of possessed demon well ? 

Have you seen her eye rolls? 

How can you be happy knowing she was dismissed from showcasing her scary looks forte. 

She could have got a National Award for her acting  or non acting or whatever have you for that Movie. 

Now she will remain to be playing Manjulika in my head till the end of time. And you do not want to see what I'm seeing, Even Stephen King wouldn't be able to handle that image.

Aishwarya Rai goddess is the first choice for everything, even Evita and Gone With The Wind. 

Vidya is a better actress than Aishwarya. Horror comedy was not a trend back then
