If it is between Mama dear and Mahesh Bhatt, the choice is all too obvious for Esha Deol. So, no brows are to be raised when the babe left Mahesh Bhatt’s ‘Jannat’ for the film to be produced by Hema Malini. The film tells the story of a danseuse and will be directed by actress-turned-director Revathy.

Esha had previously committed for Mahesh Bhatt’s presentation ‘Jannat’ to be directed by Kunal Deshmukh. Esha’s co-star was Emraan Hashmi. The shooting is to start in November in South Africa. But it turned out that Esha has to train extensively for her mother’s film, which goes on the floors in December. Naturally, it is impossible to juggle the two roles together. So, Esha talked with Bhatt and bowed out of ‘Jannat’. Now, Bhatt and Deshmukh are looking for another actress to replace Esha.
