Exclusive! Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Turns Down "jasmine", Her's Why

The last time we met Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, she had confirmed to us that she was in talks with writers Siddharth-Garima for Jasmine, which was about a surrogate mother. The actress had said, “Our talks had stopped around February this year, but now, I will take the discussion further. Right now, I don’t know whether I’m doing it or not. I liked the concept, but asked them to make a few changes to the script.”

Now, we have learned that the former beauty queen has finally taken a call on the project. Our source reveals, “Aishwarya has turned down Jasmine. There were several loopholes in the script. Although Siddharth and Garima’s basic idea was strong, there were many problems with the story, which the actress had reportedly pointed out to the writer duo. After the corrections, they approached her with a fresh script, but Ash still felt she couldn’t relate to it. So, she politely informed the team that she won’t be able to do the film anymore.”

From what it seems, Jasmine has been pushed indefinitely. Filmmaker Shree Narayan Singh, who was initially backing the project, informs us that he’s not producing it anymore. “The film should have gone on floors by now. But Siddharth and Garima, too, had other commitments to complete. So, I will not be able to tell you when it will start. It’s currently on hold,” he says.
