One mega hit and actors turn choosy overnight - something Sunny Deol can vouch for. After chasing Amisha Patel for months, Sunny had to give up on her. He was keen to cast her in his home production, Shaheed Bhagat Singh.

He then approached Preity Zinta, Sonali Bendre, Rani Mukherjee, et al — all of whom had reservations about playing any role in a Sunny-Bobby Deol starrer. Aishwarya Rai`s mom, Brinda, bailed Sunny out of his predicament. Keen to see her beti act in a period film, the lady talked her daughter into accepting Shaheed Bhagat Singh although it offers her only a minuscule role.

Sunny is thrilled to bit that Ash is in his film. Ash is happy to be part of a big banner project. All`s well that ends well!
