Hot Kareena Kapoor Dropped for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan?

Bollywood babe Kareena Kapoor's career keeps flourishing! With one hit film after another plus the ongoing buzz about her life beyond her career, Kareena is definitely one of b-town's top stars. So why would acclaimed film director Sanjay Leela Bhansali reconsider signing her for his next flick? It just so happens that Bhansali is very close to Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Sources say that the director is worried about Ash dealing with her film, Raavan being a huge flop.

Aishwarya and Abhishek had big hopes for Raavan's success at the box office. The project was promoted heatedly. Ash and Abhishek even attended a party at the Cannes Film festival that was held to promote their film. Sources say that Sanjay wants to build up her morale by signing Ash to his next project. Bhansali and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have a very strong friendship and have worked together on many successful projects such as " Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Devdas."

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is already on Bhansali's film Guzaarish." The actress is opposite Hrithik Roshan in the flick. It looks like Sanjay thinks that Ash needs to work on more than Guzaarish to keep her morale up. A source told a local India paper, "Sanjay felt that by bringing Kareena in his film at a time when Aishwarya had suffered such a debacle, he would be betraying her."

Although it is very sweet of Bhansali to worry about his friend it is a bit odd. Especially since Ash's career is going great. It's going so well that she was recently in the news for turning down an opportunity to act alongside internationally acclaimed actor Brad Pitt. The actress assured media that she was not rejecting the film and it was just a time issue. Ash discussed how her hectic B-town schedule doesn't leave her time to do justice to any Hollywood projects that come her way.

It looks like Aishwarya has enough work to keep her going after Raavan. However she has created magic with Sanjay Leela Bhansali before so it will be good to see another project that the two are working and. And we are sure Bebo will be just fine!
