 Abhishek Bachchan’s film, ‘Crooked’ was supposed to star his wife,
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But she was out of the film before Abhishek
started shooting for it on January 14 due to date issues. However, he
isn’t upset at all.
According to sources, Abhishek and Ash wanted to work together again
but not as a pair. They weren’t playing a couple in ‘Crooked’; on the
contrary, Ash was to play his enemy. His romantic interest in the film
is former Miss India and VJ Sarah Jane Dias.
The film, directed by Abhinay Deo, stars Sarah Jane alongside
Shahana Goswami, Gul Panag and Pakistani actress Sonya Jehan, who has
replaced Ash.
Ash’s role, which was that of a cop trailing global criminals, has
gone to Sonya. Sonya debuted with Akbar Khan’s ‘Taj Mahal’, where she
played Mumtaz Mahal and then did Sudhir Mishra’s ‘Khoya Khoya Chand’
where she played the role of a 1950s actress, which was based on her
grandmother Noor Jehan.
Sonya was chosen for her fair skin and light eyes. Producer Ritesh
Sidhwani has confirmed her part in the film. However, he won’t reveal
her role. He also wants to change the title as ‘Crooked’ is only their
work title and he doesn’t want it to stick.
