Ayesha Takia pairs with John Abraham

This comely belle is sure making rapid strides in the film industry.

After winning hearts with her terrific performance in Nagesh Kukunoor’s Dor , Ayesha Takia has now signed another important project with lots of prospect for showing her histrionics.

She has been paired with John Abraham in Anurag Kashyap’s film No Smoking . Kashyap had previously approached Bipasha Basu for the role but she had turned it down due to unspecified reasons.

Kashyap says he had also narrated the script to Ayesha some time back. Moreover, the film’s producers, Vishal Bhardwaj and Kumar Mangat, approved of Ayesha.

Ayesha is presently shooting for a movie in Cape Town. But she has reportedly given her nod to the project. She will play a double role in the movie.

‘No Smoking’ has John playing a chain smoker who joins a rehab to quit the habit. How his life changes after that is what the movie is about.

The film’s shooting has already begun.
