Anushka Shetty disappoints Rohit Shetty: Ajay Devgn

The attractive Anushka Shetty has put her wrong foot forward in Bollywood. The actor who is on top of her game down South was in talks with Rohit Shetty and Ajay Devgn for the remake of Singham. Anushka was the first choice to play Ajay's love interest because she was in the original film with Sooriya.

Sources indicate that when she was asked to do the remake, she reportedly demanded Rs 1.5 crore; naturally she was shown the door. Of course, there are those who say the girl had genuine date problems, but an insider says, "Money was the issue."

Anushka has definitely upset Rohit and Ajay, a formidable Bollywood combination now. And she stands replaced by Kajal Agarwal. Kajal is a major draw in Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. The girl rose to prominence after her performance as Yuvarani Mitravinda Devi in Magadheera. Rohit refuses to comment on Anushka. Praising his new heroine Kajal, he says, "She is very popular down south. She has done Magadheera, one of the biggest Telegu hits of all time. We are confident about her pulling off the role successfully."

Anushka rejected the lead in a Hindi film

While Illeana is happily doing her second lead in her maiden Bollywood film, Anushka is refusing to do the lead in a Hindi movie. Normally, any heroine would die for a lead role in a big Hindi movie.

But Anushka shows no interest. Recently, she was offered the role in a Bollywood flick, remake of the Tamil movie Singam in which she did the lead role. But Anushka didn't accept it.

Bollywood director Rohith Shetty who is remaking it personally asked her to enter Hindi film industry, yet Anushka declined politely saying she's "comfortable in South film industry.

"Anushka is the busiest star in Telugu and Tamil and she is in much demand. So she doesn't want to become another Asin or Trisha who are now back from Bollywood doing South movies.

Although Asin made a grand entry into Bollywood with Ghajini, her subsequent flops made her a no star. Trisha's first Hindi movie, Khatta Meetha, was a disaster. Seeing their pathetic situation in Bollywood, Anushka wants to continue doing Telugu and Tamil movies.
