Posted by admin on Sep 11th, 2011 | 0 comments

There has always been an under-current of rivalry between the Bachchans and the Kapoors. Professional reasons apart, they had their share of problems in personal lives as well. After a high profile engagement between Abhishek Bachchan and Karisma Kapoor, the marriage was called off suddenly and the two families were not on talking terms with each other for a long time. Now news is that Aishwarya Rai is not exactly happy with Kareena Kapoor

Aishwarya Rai was the original lead of Heroine, which had to be called off, because she had announced her pregnancy. The disillusioned director Madhur Bhandarkar then signed the movie with Kareena Kapoor after much thought. Aishwarya Rai also returned the signing amount but demanded that UTV productions should not use any of her material in the media as promotion for the film or she’d take legal action. However, she is angry with the fact that Kareena Kapoor had decided to replace her. Actually according to insiders, Ash had contemplated doing the film again after her maternity leave. But Kareena seems to have increased to her stress.

Says the source, “Ash is rumored to be upset with Bebo. Just the fact that Bebo decided to walk into a project that Ash was meant to resume post her maternity leave is reportedly the reason for the stress.” Kareena says that she has no knowledge of this. Says she, “Madhur and the film corporation were very keen that I should be in Heroine. The film was written for me originally.”

Kareena is being paid Rs. 8 crores for the film, higher than what Ash had been signed for. Besides, she has also demanded for a percentage share in the profits of the film.
