Issues between Aishwarya and Bhandarkar sorted out, says Big B

Ahmedabad: Amitabh Bachchan has said issues between his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhur Bhandarkar, director of Heroine, have been sorted.

Heroine, an ambitious new project starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, was canned after the news of Aishwarya's pregnancy was made public by the Big B on Twitter. The role required scenes and outfits which were not suitable for the Bachchan bahu who has crossed her first trimester.

Earlier this week, director Madhur Bhandarkar had said on his blog that he was in a shock after his ambitious project Heroine had to be canned following the news of Aishwarya's pregnancy.

Bhandarkar had said he was depressed for weeks as Heroine was his most ambitious project to the date.

"This is a matter between the producer and Aishwarya, and I cannot comment on it," Bachchan, who was here for the promotion of his new film Bbuddha Hoga Terra Baap said.

"When I was asked (previously) what I have to say, I had said that they (Aishwarya and Bhandarkar) would sort it out, and in fact they have sorted it out. (Despite this) if some person expresses his feelings about it he has the right to do it. And then others will alsoexpress their feelings on the issue and this way whatever is the truth, will come out," Bachchan said.

Bhandarkar had said on his blog that he was devastated over the fact that the "truth was hidden" from him. Aishwarya was to play the character of a once-successful film actress whose career is on the decline.

The film was also to star Arjun Rampal, Arunoday Singh, Shahana Goswami and Amrita Raichand.
