Sanjay Leela Bhansali is having hard times with his favourites. Not many long ago, Salman said Ta Ta to the helmer and now its Rani who shared a great camaraderie with Bhansali for years, has completely stopped talking to the helmer.

It is believed that though Rani and Sanjay had a tiff during the time the actor was shooting for ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’, the real reason for their fallout is Sanjay's decision to cast Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in‘Guzaarish’.

Reveals our birdie, "Their relationship suffered a setback when Rani decided to do Dil Bole Hadippa. Rani is very close to Sanjay's sister Bela, who wanted to direct her in a movie opposite Shahid Kapoor. Rani was reluctant because Shahid was younger to her. She backed out then but went on to sign the

Yashraj film with Shahid. This irked both Bhansali and Bela."

Adding further our birdie informs, “Also, the title of YRF movie (Hadippa) was Bela's intended title for her film. Sanjay had mentioned to Rani to take up the matter with Aditya Chopra, but she didn't do much. In fact, some say that it was Rani who suggested the title to YRF."

It is common knowledge that Aishwarya, who is among Bhansali's preferred heroines even after 2002, when she had a fallout with Salman Khan, is making a comeback with Bhansali's next, ‘Guzaarish’, opposite Hrithik Roshan.

The birdie continues, “It is Rani's turn to feel bad because she's reportedly been telling people that Sanjay cast Aishwarya only because of the Dil Bole Hadippa episode. Rani has been among Sanjay's favourites as well, especially after Black."

The tinsel town knows that Ash and Rani don't see eye to eye. So when Ash became the Bachchan bahu, her relationship with them also cooled off. Sanjay is neck deep in work and has no time for anything, while Rani has been overheard saying she doesn't want to be in touch with him anymore.

Hmmmmmmm!! Adds our birdie sarcastically, “I don’t know to whom to feel sad for or lend my beautiful tattooed shoulder to.”
