Takia was supposed to play the female lead role of Princess Jasmine opposite Ritesh Deshmukh who plays Alladin in the film andAmitabh Bachchan acts in the film as the Genie.
At the moment, Ayesha is in Hyderabad, shooting the final schedule for Kumar Mangat's Sunday.
Things did not work out as planned, she says eventhough she would still love to work with Sujoy in future as she has already worked with him in Home Delivery before.
Roumours have it that the reason why Ayesha left the project is because Ramesh Sippy and Rohan Sippy who were earlier supposed to produce the film along with Adlabs have dissociated themselves from the film and then on Sujoy's budget was drastically cut and he could not offer Ayesha the fee she was demanding.
While she was debating, she was offered Boney Kapoor's remake of Pokhiri and she decided to pass up on Sujoy's offer.
Sujoy is planning to produce the film himself and aiming for a 2008 release. Buzz is, Eros Entertainment might play a role in financing the film.
