Having had enough, he has now decided to make a new film about a love story with newcomers in the lead, something he hasn't done since 1995 when he cast Bobby Deol and Twinkle Khanna in Barsaat. Santoshi said about this yet-to-be-titled project, "I'm doing a love story with two new faces. Even the villain will be played by a newcomer. The film industry needs a lot more new talent. Else we will have to continue depending on the same stars."

newcomers after an upcoming project with Aishwarya got canned
A source, however, was more forthcoming about the reason. He said, "Santoshi has had enough with stars. Two of his back-to-back films with stars have been troubled projects. First, Power got shelved and now, Ladies & Gentlemen has been postponed."u00a0 However, Santoshi makes it clear that he is not upset over having to postpone Ladies & Gentlemen. "I was going to make it with another heroine. But then I thought, why deprive myself of the pleasure of working with someone so lovely? It is unfortunate that there has been some unpleasantness surrounding such a happy event (Aishwarya's pregnancy)," he said.
