Move over Rani Mukerji, SLB has found his latest muse. Monikangana Dutta, another Bong hottie, will make an appearance as Hrithik Roshan's ex-flame in ‘Guzaarish. The film also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Talking to a news daily, a close source from the sets of ‘Guzaarish' revealed, "Aishwarya plays a married nurse who is a caregiver and treats Hrithik as he is a paraplegic patient after his accident.

Prior to the accident, Roshan has a love interest in the movie for which Bhansali has signed Monikangana. The director recently signed the young lady and has kept it under wraps. She is under contract and is not allowed to talk to anyone until the movie's release."

We also hear that Bhansali has singed her for a two-movie deal. Guzaarish will be the first and the second might be a solo launch for her. Monikangana is obviously very excited about bagging the role. She is not allowed to make many public appearances and remains discreet about the film deal.

Guzaarish is said to be similar to John Badham's Whose Life Is It Anyway? The film with dark undertones, also deals with the controversial issue of euthanasia. Ash's character sparks off great interest with her playing a married woman who is attracted to Hrithik as the second half progresses.

Incidentally, Hrithik Roshan is unaware of Dutta's presence in the film.

Adds an insider, "Aishwarya is married to debutant Aditya Roy Kapoor. Monika will be shooting for the next schedule. Her role is minuscule, but of great importance. Her character adds to the script."

When quizzed SLB confirmed the news of signing Monikangana Dutta and said, "Her role is pivotal to the love story. She's a lovely girl."
