Sanjay Dutt wanted Aishwarya to play Nargis in ‘Raat Aur Din’ remake

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was in the news recently associating her with the remake of 1967’s ‘Raat Aur Din’. She’s revealed that Sanjay Dutt wanted her in the film to play the role his mother Nargis essayed in the original.

Rai Bachchan has asked for the script to be a little more watertight for the remake before she agrees. She is quoted by DNA, “When Sanju (Sanjay Dutt) and I were filming Shabd (2005), he had said that if there was ever a remake of Raat Aur Din, I should essay the protagonist. It made me happy that he believed I could play his mother’s role”.

She also revealed, “I had asked the makers of the surrogacy story (Jasmine) for a rewrite. There were two remakes (Woh Kaun Thi and Raat Aur Din), which were interesting ideas. I respect the movies of those times (the ’60s). So, I asked them to get their rights in place”.

The actress was last seen in ‘Fanney Khan’ (2018).
