Aishwarya Rai Bachchan ditched Sanjay Leela Bhansali for this director

Do you remember how breathtakingly gorgeous Sanjay Leela Bhansali made Aishwarya look in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Guzaarish and Devdas? Well she is drop dead gorgeous herself, but Sanjay Leela Bhansali has a way of defining it even further in a more beautiful way. Now, the buzz is that Aishwarya has not picked him to work with. She has rather chosen Anurag Kashyap over him and we wonder why?

Enter Abhishek Bachchan. A report by Deccan Chronicles revealed that Aishwarya was all set to work with Sanjay again but her project with him was in development stages. Then Anurag Kashyap offered her and her hubby a project together. And she couldn't refuse. Abhishek and Aishwarya have worked together in many movies and we loved how their chemistry on screen was so bang on. Recall Guru..

A source has reportedly said, "Aishwarya had to choose between working with Bhansali and sharing screen space with her husband, as the dates for both films were clashing. And she chose the film with her husband. They haven't worked together in eight years. And more importantly, both of them have fabulous roles in Gulab Jamun. They're going to be playing characters they've never played before."

Abhishek's project with Anurag Kashyap, Manmarziyan, is set to release on September 14th. After that he is all his wifes. They will start shooting for Gulab Jamun and we can't wait to watch the lovely jodi again.
