Ashutosh Gowariker changes 'novel' ending of What's Your Raashee 
By Subhash K. Jha, September 9, 2009 - 14:19 IST
For those who think they know which of the 12 Priyanka Chopras Harman Baweja marries at the end of What's Your Raashee, here's a shocker.
Ashutosh has completely changed the bride-selection finale. Harman's character walks away with a completely different girl from the one that the hero selects in the novel.
It took a while to convince the novelist Madhu Rye. But Ashutosh finally made sense in convincing the litterateur that an identical ending in the film will work as a total spoiler for those who had read the book.
Rye had also never imagined that all the 12 candidates for bride-hood would have the same face.
But Ashutosh had made up his mind. "If I had 12 different actresses playing the 12 brides-in-waiting, a star-hierarchy would've been created in the audiences' mind. And the one Harman would've married would've been considered 'The Star' of the show. I wanted all the 12 girls to be looked on with equal
curiosity and interest by the audience. And for that I need to take up the challenge of making one actress play all the 12 parts."
