Juhi to replace Amisha in Billo Barber?

April 02, 2008 14:07 IST

In all likelihood, Juhi Chawla will replace Amisha Patel after the latter walked out of Priyadarshan's Billo Barber.

Produced by Shah Rukh Khan under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner, Billo Barber is rumoured to be the story of Lord Krishna and his best friend Sudama. Shah Rukh will play Krishna whereas Irrfan Khan will play Sudama. But the film is set in modern times.

Amisha was offered a small but vital role as Irrfan's wife in the film. But she opted out because she felt the role was too insignificant.

In Priyadarshan's earlier film, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Amisha had a small but important role as well. But this time, it looks like the actress wanted better.

Left with no heroine, it is learnt that SRK has requested his good friend Juhi to step in.

Shah Rukh and Juhi have been close friends since 1992's Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, when Juhi was a star and Shah Rukh, a relative newcomer. They had also formed their production company, Dreamz Unlimited, which made the flop, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani.

The last time SRK and Juhi were seen together in a film was Paheli, also produced by Red Chillies.

I don't think that's true. In a few days they are going to shoot the film and they won't replace the heroine just before that.

By the way I am soo happy that the forum is back! I was getting hyper

I'd rather Juhi teamed opposite SRK than someone else in a movie SRK is in. I'm still waiting for these two to get together again. They are a match made in comic heaven.

Bhootnath would be such an opportunity. Maybe for a few minutes but still they are a couple...

I really like Juhi and would love to her in this production, but am taking this piece of news with a huge grain of salt. And yes Jalda I was getting hyper too.

[nicha]

brilliant. i really hope it is true. now i want to see the Malayalam film. i'm so curious.

I think Juhi would look better with Irfan than with Amisha. I think Juhi is great for this role.

[PrettY_WoMaN]

Please please please let this be true.

[superstar]

Infact, Juhi suits the role more than Amisha. Irfan's wife needs to have 2-3 kids and Amisha is too young for that and Juhi is in right age for that. I don't know why didn't they think of Juhi before? Irfan and Juhi will look good.

Moreover, this would be better and important role than the one in Paheli which was quite unnecessary for Juhi's stature.

Juhi and Irfan did play a romantic couple in '7 1/2 Phere' back in 2005. They were very cute together, I think.

I really reallly hope this is true. Juhi will be so perfect in this role!

I am reminded of the very famous quote "there are no small roles, only small actors" : amisha will regret this move, but personally, I am delighted!

[rEd_cHilli3z]

i hope it happens!!!

[senorita]

hehehee niceeee.

but amisha is so stupid to opt out of this movie.

I didn't really care when I heard about Amisha, but I would much rather see Juhi now because I like her a lot more
