Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was the first choice to be cast opposite Abhishek Bachchan in the recently released ‘Game’, informs Abhinay Deo. She had even read the script and liked it. However, by the time he finalized the rest of the casting Aishwarya had already given away her dates.

That’s when Abhinay decided to cast a new face instead, and Sarah Jane Dias was introduced to Bollywood. It can be remembered that Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan don’t do very many movies together just for the sake of doing them. They require substance and a certain sort of conviction.

However, it wasn’t like Ash was not convinced about ‘Game’ insists Director Deo, who is keen to cast the light-eyed beauty in his next. Will Ash be ‘game’ for that one now?

After getting part of the Bachchan clan, it seemed a little odd. But the way in which bahu Aishwarya Rai refused to work in the next movie of Vipul Shah. She simply said that she did not want to work opposite to her husband Abhishek Bachchan.

She has instead asked the filmmaker to cast her toughest competitor at present in the industry, Katrina Kaif, to work opposite to him. A source close to the development said that when Vipul spoke to Ash about the role she started thinking and then suggested that Katrina be cast instead of her.

This is not the first time though that such a stand has been taken by former beauty queen and a good actress. Earlier too she had refused to work opposite to Abhi during the flick, ‘Dostana’. Then came ‘Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey’ and ‘Game’, where the same response was given and each time she came up with one or the other excuse.
