Ashwarya has not been dropped. she has walked out.

Flop. Who in their right mind replaces Ash with Bips?

Isn't Prerna bankrupt ? She is bankrolling it ?

I think she walked out bcoz of the production house reputation.

I know right...Who replaces the hit machine Aishwarya with someone else.!😲

Ash herself probably walked out of the movie or the producer couldn't afford her, which is why the producer had no option than to cast someone that she can afford and the perfect choice is Bips that had been jobless for long time.

I think she is still doing Raat aur Din remake with the same PH.

Well isn't Bipasha the most successful actress in horror/mystery genre??

Bollywood actors were trying to be smart by getting Prerna to overpay them for her films. John, Shahid, Aishwarya 😆
