Crooked, a Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani production is due to start filming from January 14 next year. The film was going to see Bollywood couple, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead roles, but the latest news is that Aishwarya has opted out as her dates coincide with another project – Vipul Shah’s Action Replay.

Action Replay will see Aishwarya sharing the big screen with action man, Akshay Kumar. Since she’s given this film priority over Crooked, it leaves the producers and directors without a leading lady. Sources reveal that Sarah Jane, former Miss India (2007) has been casted in the film which is apparently inspired by the Matt Damon-starrer, Bourne films.

When asked about her role in the film, Jane refrained from commenting and just said, “Yes, I did meet the filmmakers. But I can’t say anything more than that, because I don’t know. It’s up to them to confirm the news first and make the official announcement.”

Director, Abhinay Deo was unavailable for comment as well. Farhan says that because of other pending projects, Crooked can’t be delayed any further. He has his sister, Zoya Akhtar’s Spain-based film coming up starring him along with Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol which will begin filming on April 5. Don 2 will begin filming in September 2010.

The sexy damsel and the reigning lady of the tinseltown Katrina Kaif has something up her sleeves(or should we say blouse) that lands her at a par with the Bollywood’s hottest diva of the 90s Madhri Dixit.

The young lady is a Bollywood import from west and Katrina(read Salman) has played her cards like a maverick magician and has successfully dethroned former Miss World Aishwarya Rai from the throne of the ‘most desirable Indian actress,’ Meanwhile, all this while, the 40-plus actress Madhuri was busy carrying out the responsibility of her matrimonial life in raising her children in USA.

But, now Mrs. Nene aka Madhuri has reportedly signed a movie in which she will be portraying the character of late Mrs. Indira Gandhi . As per reports, the film is to be directed by Asian-American filmmaker Krishna Shah and the starcast include Dharmendra, Abhay Deol and Nana Patekar.

Katrina, on the other hand, is already donning the robes of Indira Gandhi’s bahu Sonia Gandhi(though she keeps denying it) in her upcoming film ‘Rajneeti’ directed by Prakash Jha.
So, both Katty & Madhuri are to play politics-centred roles and both are projecting a Gandhi woman. Let’s see who is able to win the hearts of the one-billion audience.
