Abhishek Bachchan and his wife Aishwarya Rai were hoping to get some time alone followed by a family get-together on their second marriage anniversary, but seems like that plan has went in fizzy as Mani Ratnam is shooting for his forthcoming film tentatively titled Raavan on that day.

The doting couple were trying to be in Mumbai on April 20 for a private outing and also spend some time parents Amitabh and Jaya, but as Mani has already planned to shoot some important shots which could not be postponed, the couple readily accepted Mani's plans and called off their romantic anniversary plans.There are no plans for us as we will be shooting for Mani's film on that day. So I guess we will wish each other on the sets only," smiles Abhishek.

Mani Ratnam is in wrapping up Raavan mode now and so he has already fixed up shootings with Abhishek and Aishwarya. Unfortunately for them, the shoot will be on April 20, which is their second anniversary.

When Abhi and Ash heard that Mani has decided to shoot on the 20th, they decided to co-operate Mani and assured that they will shoot despite the fact that their plans might be getting washed away. They understand how important it is to wrap up the film as postponing a shoot by a day means losses for everybody and in this recession market where every penny counts, it is really great that they are acting so practical.

So the couple will spend the special day at the film set's location. They might do something special later.

Abhishek is Ash’s precedence

Abhishek Bachchan precedes for wife Ashwairya Rai and not Will smith or any of her projects. Abhishek is Ash’s precedence. Ash declared so while talking to the journalists at the set of Maniratnam's movie Ravana near Kolkata.

She was asked whether she would be working with Will Smith or not in the next coming Hollywood flick. Ash told that Abhishek is my first priority and Smith would come after Abhishek only.

In the mean time, everyone is talking about Pink Panther-2. The movie apart, 2009 has begun on a good note for Ash. She made it to the Top 50 Most Desirable Woman in the World list in an international online poll and was honoured with the Padma Shri back home, both of which she credits to her fans support.

She don’t have a role-length-fetish as she never worked with stardust in her eyes. When asked about it, Ash claimed it was really a fun part to work with the Pink Panther 2 team. Each of the actors — right from Jean Reno to Andy Garcia and including herself — knew that it’s a Steve Martin film. So it is extremely silly and exhausting to talk about the length of the role.

Ash is in Kolkata with her hubby Abhishek Bachchan to shoot “Ravana.” This film would be released in the second half of this year. Replying to the questions of journalists about her role in the movie Ash revealed that she don’t play Sita, but a role similar to hers in a modern day Ramayana.

Not only this, Ash is working with her hubby in other two movies. Rajiv Menon’s ‘Dhun’ which is based completely on music and Farhan Akhtar's next untitled venture. Critics say that it would be similar to Abhiman, where Jaya and Amitabh worked, but the actress has refused to comment on the movie. “Let’s see what’s in the movie,” said Ash.
