Most of the makers want to cast a fresh pair in their film so that they can create a new charm among the fans. Something similar happened in the year 1997 as well. When Sunny Deol and Aishwarya Rai were cast in the lead roles for a film. Sunny Deol and Aishwarya Rai had not appeared together in any film before, so everyone expected the film to do good business. To make this film, the makers shed money like water.
The shooting of some parts and songs of this film was completed, but later this film was stopped midway. After this, the film was never reworked and neither the Sunny-Aishwarya pairing was seen by the audience. So let's know what ultimately led to the closure of that film-
The movie name was Indian
Sunny Deol has appeared in a film named Indian. It was released in the year 2001, starring Sunny Deol and Shilpa Shetty in lead roles. Sunny Deol's on-screen chemistry with Shilpa also made a lot of headlines. But even before this film, Sunny Deol was going to do a film called Indian, in which Aishwarya Rai was going to be seen with him.
The story of the film was like this
Since the film was never completed, most people do not know much about the film. But it is said that this film was based on patriotism, in which Sunny Deol would have been seen in a double role. Where one of his roles was that of the army officer, then in the other role he appeared as a terrorist. People would get a chance to see two such shades of him in a single film. Not only the makers but Sunny and Aishwarya also had high hopes for this film.
Lots of money invested in makers
It was a big-budget film, directed by Padam Kumar, while Pahlaj Nihalani was the producer. Even at that time, the makers had invested a lot of money in making the film. A song from the film had already been shot, in which around Rs 1.75 crore was spent. Aishwarya also gave some bold scenes in this song. It is said that 4.6 crore rupees were spent on making this film.
Over-budgeted film
The shooting of this film was going well, but the budget kept on increasing while making the film. The producers had spent crores of rupees only in shooting some portions of the film. In such a situation, they were not ready to spend more than the budget. In such a situation, the shooting of this film was abandoned in the middle. After this, the film got shelved and the film was never worked on again.
