Aish & Sanjay Back After A Long Time

Sanjay Dutt and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were last seen together in the movie Shabd. Though the film, directed by debutant Leena Yadav, was a flop, their onscreen chemistry worked quite well. The jodi also got great response because of some of the close scenes between Aish and Sanju Baba.

Now, the pair will be seen again on screen, in Mani Ratnam’s next. The film will also star Abhishek Bachchan.

Incidentally, Sanjay was not the director’s first choice. He had first chosen Tamil actor, Vikram. But he roped in Sanjay because he wanted a more popular face.

Apparently, Sanjay accepted the film immediately when Mani asked him. He even juggled his dates, and walked out of a T-series’s film to make way for Mani’s film.

The T-series film, a romantic comedy, was to star Sanjay opposite Kangana Ranaut. It is directed by Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru, who directed the Salman Khan-starrer Lucky. We hope that Mani Ratnam succedds to give a blockbuster this time. Source
