Aishwarya Rai Bachchan reportedly turned down a supporting role in the 2004 historical epic, Troy, because she was uncomfortable shooting intimate scenes with Brad Pitt. According to a Pinkvilla report, Aishwarya was offered the role of Briseis in the film, directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starring Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Dian Kruger, among others. The role eventually went to Rose Byrne after Aishwarya passed. Aishwarya was most recently seen in the 2018 drama Fanney Khan, also starring Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao.
