Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is not working with any of her past time boy-friends. She has outrightly refused working with her ex-boyfriends
Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi. Rumours were that she would be appearing
alongside Vivek in Sautish Kashik’s new big budget romance Tansen, but
even the director denied this.

Satish Kaushik, the director of an upcoming film Tansen has said
that,"I’ve been getting so many calls from people asking me whether I
have cast Vivek Oberoi in Tansen along with Abhishek and Aishwarya and
the answer is no such thing has happened". "I’ve not approached Vivek,
Salman Khan or even Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the film. I had only
mentioned Abhishek’s name saying he is someone who can play the role
well as he also has a certain star status and fan following."

Aishwairya Rai's present projects are two big films from which
expectations are high.

One is Aish-Rajnikanth starrer movie Endhiran which is now rumoured to have reached a budget of 120cr, making it India’s most expensive movie. The signature item number alone is said to have cost 30cr and Aishwarya’s fee is rumoured to be in the region of 6cr. However, the over-run on the production dates may be costing Aishwarya dearly as it’s making it difficult for her to sign new projects and her absence from the screen since Sarkar Raj may also be damaging her career.

Aishwarya’s other big budget project, Raavan, of director Mani Ratnam is being delayed as he was rushed off to hospital recently with a suspected heart attack and not released for a week. There have also\ been some disagreements on set with a tiff developing between the South’s leading director and the North’s leading actress. Mani wanted her to shoot a scene without any make-up and Aishwarya was apparently
not very happy about it. In addition, there have been problems over shooting scenes in areas designated as natural reserves.It stars her
opposite Abhishek Bachchan.
