Bollywood is abuzz about ‘Crooked’, a co-production of Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. The movie features Abhishek Bachchan in the lead and his wife Aishwaraya Rai was supposed to play the role opposite him. However, the beauty walked out the project due to other work commitments.Vipul Shah’s ‘Action Replay’ which has Aish along with Akshay Kumar, is nearing its completion. So the actress is keen to finish it first and doesn’t want to clash both the projects; resulting in her exit from ‘Crooked’.

Now, the production team is on a fresh hunt of heroine. Said Ritesh, “We are now looking for a completely new face in Crooked, which actually requires three new girls.”‘Crooked’ will be directed by Abhinay Deo and the shooting is expected to start in coming January.
