“Talks are currently on with Aishwarya and things should get finalised in a couple of days. Both the Sajids - Nadiadwala and Khan - loved the idea of using the song and bought the rights from the music company. Everyone knows it was a chartbuster in its heyday,” says our source.
When contacted Sajid Nadiadwala said, “Yes, we have bought the rights of the song but Aishwarya Rai is not in our version. We can confirm names only when everything is finalised.” On the other hand, director Sajid Khan said, “I will neither confirm nor deny the news. We will be making an announcement at the right time.”
Aishwarya Rai herself remained unavailable for comment.
