Its funny that the two films Ash and Sunil Shetty worked on as leads never completed filming (the other being Radheshyam Sitaram). - considering both were and are utter professionals. Director Shashilal K. Nair famously stated in interviews that unlike Manisha Koirala, if the call time for a shot was 8am, Ash would be ready at 7.30, costume and makeup ready for camera. Manisha was notoriously late during her busy phase.
The gentle giant Sunil Shetty was also known to be on time and professional - so what went wrong with the making of the film? Funds? Mishaps? Timetable conflicts?! All the above and then some including a notorious incident where in an accident, the film camera fell into the river!
There ware several images of Aishwarya Rai in dance costume on set looking staggeringly beautiful - and we all know she's the most graceful dancer - pity we'll never see those songs and dances and clips...
The Tulu speakers did appear in one released film, the ill-fated Umrao Jaan.
