Aishwarya
Rai is certainly on a roll these days. Not only is she set to make her
long-awaited comeback in Sanjay Gupta's "Jazbaa," but now it's being
rumored that she's signed on to star opposite Aamir Khan in Karan
Johar's next film. However according to a Nov. 11 article her film future might have been very different if it weren't for her rocky history with Salman Khan.
A source who has some connection to Karan Johar has indicated that the director wanted Aishwarya for a very different role. He had hoped to cast her as the female lead in "Shuddhi," which was originally set to star Hrithik Roshan. Johar has been having a hard time getting "Shuddhi" made and has gone through multiple castings and re-castings. First he signed Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor. When Hrithik pulled out of the film Kareena went with him, saying that she signed the film in order to work with Hrithik and with him no longer attached to the project there was no reason for her to stay.
Johar then signed Salman Khan to take over where Hrithik had left off. However with Salman in the film Karan's choice for the female lead, Aishwarya, wasn't possible. As the source says, it's "out of the question."
Salman and Aishwarya are former lovers who had a very nasty public split. Aishwarya claimed that Salman was physically and emotionally abusive, and she was spotted sporting bruises on one occasion. Salman made life difficult for her by constantly showing up on her film sets, which resulted in her being forced out of "Chalte Chalte" and falling out of favor with her co-star in the film, Shahrukh Khan. Aishwarya and Salman broke up, after which she dated Vivek Oberoi before finally marrying Abhishek Bachchan. She has refused to work with Salman ever since.
So it sounds like Salman Khan is still wreaking a bit of havoc on Aishwarya's professional life. Now Deepika Padukone is rumored to be taking over the role in "Shuddhi," and fans of Aishwarya Rai will just have to wonder what the film might have been like with her in it.
