Now, speaking of Aishwarya’s career, she has delivered numerous blockbuster films, but there’s one film that turned out to be a massive flop at the box office. This particular film was so unsuccessful that it severely impacted the director’s career as well.
Rekha’s Film ‘Umrao Jaan’ Back in 1981, the legendary actress Rekha starred in the film ‘Umrao Jaan’, which was directed by Muzaffar Ali. Rekha’s performance in this film won the hearts of many, and it is still considered a classic in Hindi cinema. In 2006, director JP Dutta decided to remake ‘Umrao Jaan’ with Aishwarya Rai in the lead role. The film also featured Abhishek Bachchan, Shabana Azmi, Sunil Shetty, Divya Dutta, and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in significant roles. The Film’s Box Office Failure Unfortunately, Aishwarya’s performance and JP Dutta’s direction did not resonate well with the audience, leading to the film’s poor performance at the box office. The budget for this new ‘Umrao Jaan’ was 15 crores, but it only managed to earn 7.42 crores. JP Dutta’s Struggles This film became the biggest flop of Aishwarya Rai’s acting career. According to media reports, the failure of ‘Umrao Jaan’ left JP Dutta devastated. It took him 12 years to make his next film, ‘Paltan’, which featured stars like Jackie Shroff, Arjun Rampal, Sonu Sood, Harshvardhan Rane, Sonal Chauhan, and Esha Gupta. Upcoming Film ‘Border 2’ Currently, JP Dutta is working on a new war drama film titled ‘Border 2’ which is set to release in theaters on January 23, 2026. This film will star Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh**, and Varun Dhawan.
