Did you know, it was Aishwarya Rai who had bagged in the role of female lead in Mani Ratnam's Bombay a film made on the 1993 bomb blasts.
Shankar, who is now busy shooting The Robot with Ash, was suppose to sign her for his Tamil flick India and had also decided the name of her character as Aishwarya but the clashes of dates stroke and the role went for a second time to Manisha Koirala. And we saw Manisha starring opposite Kamal Hassan, playing the role of this character named Aishwarya.
Need more, here it is. Manisha was seen playing a role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Khamoshi but that role too was meant for none other than, Aishwarya Rai. While Aishwarya slipped the role off, Manisha was seen bagging a number of awards for her performance in this deaf-mute saga.
