Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s attempt to produce Chenab Gandhi, a story on Frontier Gandhi, was very much in the making up until just a few days ago. The film was being directed by one of his assistants, Vibhu Puri, who had assisted Bhansali on Saawariya earlier. Amitabh Bachchan and Vidya Balan were playing pivotal characters.
Sources reveal that Sanjay Leela Bhansali was not very happy with the director hence has decided to scrap the project.
It was earlier reported that Harman Baweja was dropped and Rajeev Khandelwal had replaced him. The source further adds that Rajeev seems to be heart- broken and depressed about the film being scrapped.

When an outstanding iconic figure like Vidya Balan is overthrowned by a younger actor like Asin is really a hard news to swallow.

As the Bollywood industry knows that Vidya Balan is the first choice in any director’s list is quite shocking to hear that she has been replaced. But there is reasonable answer to why things had happened so because Bhansali was continuously delaying the project that apparently erupted Vidya’s patience.
Evidently when Balan thought to quit Bhansali had no choice but replace Asin in her place and the same case even happened with Harman Baweja who was replaced by John Abraham.

Bipasha Basu is not in the favor of beau John Abraham to cast opposite Vidya Balan and she is making much effort to encourage John to walk out of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Chenab Gandhi’ in which he will be paired opposite Vidya Balan.
We spoke to our source, “Bipasha has been trying her level best to persuade John to step out of the project, but he doesn’t want to back out from this historical venture of Sanjay.
While the film was scheduled to start in April, it has now been postponed to December 2009 because of John’s uncertainty. This delay from John has been on purpose because he still hopes Bipasha would cool down.
