Remember When Kareena Kapoor Replaced Aishwarya Rai Because Of Her Pregnancy? ( Photo Credit – Instagram )

We all know how Kareena Kapoor Khan walked out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. She signed the dotted lines and took the initial amount, but things eventually did not work out. It was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who eventually starred opposite Salman Khan. But remember how the tables turned in 2012 when a Bollywood director accused Aish of hiding her pregnancy? Scroll below for all the details!

Aishwarya is married to Amitabh Bachchan’s son and actor Abhishek Bachchan. They fell in love on the sets of Dhoom 2 and tied the knot one year later, in 2007. The duo welcomed their first child, daughter Aaradhya, in 2011.

Many wouldn’t know, but Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was the first choice for Heroine (2012). Director Madhur Bhandarkar had begun the production preparations in full swing, keeping the Guru actress in mind.

The Indian horror-comedy film “Stree 2” has shattered box office records since its release earlier this month. In just 12 days, the movie earned a total of $70.1 million globally. This outstanding performance not only broke many records within Bollywood but indicates growing interest among audiences for supernatural storylines.

Released during India’s Independence Day celebrations, “Stree 2” continues the story of 2018’s surprise hit “Stree.” The sequel follows main character Vicky and his friends as they face a new supernatural threat in their town. A headless ghost has begun kidnapping women in Chanderi. Actor Rajkummar Rao reprises his starring role as Vicky to confront this mysterious creature.

Audiences have turned out in huge numbers both within India and overseas. The film made $59.3 million from theaters in its home market alone. It also earned an impressive $2.57 million during its opening weekend showing in the United States, breaking into the top 10 highest-grossing movies.

After several unsuccessful attempts in recent years, Ayushmann Khurrana and Anees Bazmee are finally collaborating. Peepingmoon.com has exclusively learned that Ayushmann is teaming up with Bazmee for a comedy entertainer set to be produced by Junglee Pictures.

The yet-untitled project is believed to be an out-and-out comedy with romantic undertones, featuring Ayushmann in another quirky character role he’s popularly known for. Although it’s yet unclear if it’s a horror comedy as reported in the media, the double-role movie previously discussed with Shahid Kapoor, or an entirely different project, sources ensure that it’s a typical Anees Bazmee entertainer packed with humor, romance, and drama.
