Aishwarya Rai’s pregnancy has put filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar and UTV in a fix. The pregnancy news which is a very very good news to the film industry is not real gone down well with the makers of Ash’s forthcoming flick, Heroine.

Ash’s role in the film is supposed to be that of a sexy superstar at the helm of her career. But this is not possible anymore. The makers have thus decided to put their venture on hold for a while.

“Soon after Madhur heard about Aishwarya’s pregnancy, he called the producers and they decided to meet. So, director Madhur Bhandarkar and the producers Ronnie Srewvala and Siddharth Roy Kapoor met up at around 4pm on Wednesday.

While the producer UTV has still not declared it officially, the buzz is that Madhur has decided to stall the shoots for the film,” revealed a source.

Say’s the source, “No one, including herself knew about the pregnancy. She wuld never have started shooting for the film otherwise,”

In fact Madhur was surprised to hear about the pregnancy. “He was hoping that Ash would be able to shoot the film, but that is unlikely now. What they have already shot are portions where she needed to look older. The next schedule required Ash to lose weight and also dance, which obviously is not possible now.

The final call will however, be taken in another meeting scheduled in a couple of days,” added the source.

The film that had gone on floors barely a fortnight back, was initially supposed to be completed within 60 days.
