Bipasha
Replaces
Aishwarya
Rai
Deccan
Chronicle
quoted
a
source
close
to
the
project
as
saying,
"Arjun
N.
Kapoor
was
readying
himself
to
be
an
actor
and
now
that
a
new
company
with
Prernaa
has
also
come
on
board,
Bipasha
has
more
or
less
been
pencilled
in
as
the
heroine.
The
film
will
go
on
the
floors
next
month."
Aishwarya’s
Flop
Saga
To
Be
Blamed?
Going
by
the
rumour,
if
Bipasha
Basu
has
really
replaced
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
then
it's
high
time
that
Aishwarya
should
take
her
career
seriously
and
sign
films
accordingly!
A
Leading
Trade
Analyst
Had
Mentioned
Why
Aishwarya
Failed
To
Give
Hits
A
leading
trade
analyst
was
quoted
in
Asian
Age
as
saying,
"Somehow
Aishwarya's
comeback
films
are
not
working.
It
could
be
her
selection
of
roles.
It
certainly
can't
be
the
way
she
looks,
as
she
is
looking
better
than
in
any
of
her
films."
Aishwarya
Has
Put
In
A
Lot
Of
Effort
For
Fanney
Khan
The
trade
analyst
further
added,
"Even
the
idea
of
the
tattoo
on
her
wrist
was
her's.
She
hand-held
debutant
director
Atul
Manjrekar
because
she
knew
they
were
treading
on
wobbly
ground.
But
the
final
outcome
was
far
from
appealing."
A
Filmmaker
Also
Blamed
Aishwarya's
Acting
Chops
A
filmmaker
was
quoted
as
saying,
"She
(Aishwarya
Rai)
wants
to
go
from
Jennifer
Lopez
to
Meryl
Streep,
but
she
doesn't
have
the
range.
In
Jazbaa,
she
played
a
traumatised
mother
but
looked
shallow
and
too
taken
up
with
looking
glamorous."
'Aishwarya
Lacks
Emotional
Depth'
"In
Fanney
Khan,
she
is
fine
singing,
dancing
and
playing
the
pop
diva.
But
when
she
has
to
communicate
her
character's
loneliness,
she
is
at
a
loss.
Aishwarya
lacks
the
emotional
depth
to
pull
off
40-plus
characters,"
said
the
filmmaker.
Aishwarya
On
The
Work
Front
On
the
professional
front,
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
will
be
next
seen
in
Anurag
Kashyap's
Gulab
Jamun
opposite
her
hubby,
Abhishek
Bachchan.
She
will
also
be
doing
the
remake
of
‘Raat
Aur
Din'.
