Since her 'good news' Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been the talk of the town - be it for good reason or bad. Bad in some sense for the filmmakers with whom she had signed projects. While Madhur Bhandarkar unwillingly dropped the diva and roped in Kareena Kapoor for his ambitious movie 'Heroine', here's a filmmaker who doesn't want to compromise.

Rajkumar Santoshi is another director who had been looking forward to work with Aishwarya. News about his next venture titled 'Ladies And Gentlemen' had been occasionally making rounds, where the actress was supposed to star opposite hubby Abhishek Bachchan. Now with Aishwarya's pregnancy the project is naturally put on hold.

According to sources, Santoshi has postponed the movie, since he doesn’t want to opt for another actress; instead is willing to wait for Aishwarya to return to work.

In meantime he will be working on another project 'Power' which stars Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Ajay Devgan. The shooting of this movie is expected to start in November, sources added.
