Aish to work with Rituparno

The dazzling diva Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has signed up another project titled Devi Chaudhurani with national award winning filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh. Both Rituparno Ghosh and former Miss World have earlier worked together in movies like ‘Chokher Bali’ and ‘Raincoat’. Devi Chaudhurani is a novel written down in 1884 by renowned writer Bankim Chandra Chatterjee.

Aishwarya with RituparnoThe film adaptation of this novel is one of Suchitra Sen’s most appreciated works. A source mentioned that the Bachchan bahu has asked for the DVDs of Suchitra Sen’s movie, which is about how a typical prosperous housewife turns into the leader of a group of dacoits. The source added further that the movie will be an adaptation of the novel which is set during the 1880s but Aishwarya Rai wanted to do some research on the actress. The actress has always regarded Suchitra Sen as one of the talented actress that Bengal has ever produced. Suchitra Sen also wanted to meet Aishwarya Rai once, but she knows that this is something impossible. The actress director jodi had several meetings to discuss about this project in detail. Both have confirmed the news of the flick being made. The movie will be made in both Hindi and Bengali versions.
The source further clarified that the script has already been handed over to the sizzling actress and she is about to allot dates for the shooting.

Filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh had discussed this with Aishwarya when they were shooting for Chokher Bali itself but he at least said yes from her when she was in Kolkata last year to accept an award for Raavan. Forty nine films from thirty three countries, but the largest producer of movies, India, as reported has no entry to the 64th Cannes Film Festival. The only Indian entry it seems, at this year's important festival will again be none other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Courtesy the cosmetic brand Aishwarya Rai endorses, will be her 10th year when the actress will grace the red carpet. After the Malayalam film Arimpara made a grand entry at Cannes in 2003, the big gap of seven year was filled by Vikram Motwane's Udaan last year.
