After the success of Vaastav Mahesh Manjrekar was too sure of his capability to handle and convince the moody tinsel stars, thereby turning bargains into his favor.
Alas! The director fumbled right at the outset. Just as he started believing that he had bagged the sensational Sushmita for his next, Tera Mera Saath Rahe, the even more intelligent ex-Miss Universe walked out of the film in the most casual manner saying that the film did not have much to offer her.
An exasperated Manjrekar went helter skelter looking for a replacement and finally, settled for Sonali Bendre.
If you’ve heard Sushmita talking about Mahesh’s film, then what Sonali says will sound just the opposite. Bendre is damned cheesed with the role and says “I am very happy to work with Mahesh”. And the film? Well it is a ‘dream role’ in her words.
After aeons, Sonali’s career in films looks like taking up, and who knows this film may catapult her right up to the position she has been wanting to reach all the while
As far as Sush darling goes, she can afford to do a few nakhras. Apart from Hrithik, all that the audience wants to see in Fiza is the sizzling number by Sush.
