Aishwarya Rai leaves Crooked

Aishwarya Rai has exited Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's production Crooked, leaving the duo in a fix.

She was supposed to star opposite hubby Abhishek Bachchan in the film but had to drop it because of date issues.

Ash was busy with Vipul Shah’s Action Replay whose dates begin to crash with Crooked. Since Action Replay is nearing its end, she had to drop Crooked, directed by Abhinay Deo.

This is not Farhan’s only film that doesn’t have an actress yet. Farhan’s production directed by sister Zoya, which stars Farhan, Hrithik Roshan and Abhay Deol is also stuck without a female lead. They are currently looking for three new girls for the film which will start shooting in Spain from April 5.

Hrithik has adjusted his dates for Farhan, who wants to start shooting for Don 3 in September 2010, as Zoya’s film needs to be completed by then.
