I heard that Hritik Roshan was asked to be a part of Pink Panther 2  but he refused because he wanted to be the lead actor or the lead co actor alongside Steve Martin and when this was refused he said he didn't want to be a part of the movie and Ashwariya sighned because she thought Hritik was in it but when she heard he had dropped out she still decided to go ahead with the movie. I also heard that Celina Jaitley was going to be a part of the movie but i have no idea whether or not this is true!
