Aishwarya at ease

Bollywood personified actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan said that she is all set to clinch more with the Tamil cinema after working on the blockbuster Endhiran that also featured veteran actor Rajinikanth. As for now, Aishwarya Rai is familiar with the language, though the actress still can’t risk speaking Tamil on a regular basis.


At the same time, she also feels that Tollywood is one of the fastest growing film industries and she would surely like to be a part of more Tamil movies in the coming future. Aishwarya started her film career with Tamil film titled Iruvar, has done three more flicks for the Tollywood film fraternity and today she really feels that now she can easily understand the laungage after her work in Jeans, Raavanan and Endhiran.

Speaking about her character in Endhiran, Aishwarya asserted that it was not a very difficult role to enact onscreen but she is very thankful to director Shankar for offering her a role that any ordinary heroine would love doing at any point of time in her career. The actress also wishes to work with Shankar once again. Aishwarya Rai will be next featured in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Guzaarish opposite the Greek God Hrithik Roshan.

Aishwarya launches audio cassettes of Rettachuzhi

It is not very common to see the Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the audio release of a movie. But the occasion was very special here as it was the audio launch of Tamil film "Rettachuzhi" produced by Shankar, who is directing the actress in his upcoming flick Endhiran: The Robot.

Aishwarya looked amazing in a white saree. Aishwarya Rai released the audio cassettes and CDs of "Rettachuzhi" which were accepted by noted lyricist Vairamuthu. She had once been described by Vairamuthu as a "Taj Mahal weighing 50 kilograms" in one of his lyrics for the film "Jeans".

Aishwarya also told that it’s an honour for her to have been present at this place among legends like Balachander and Bharathiraaja and she felt proud about it. Aishwarya is more happy to be a part of Shankar’s ‘Endhiran’ opposite superstar Rajnikanth.

Swine Flu Scares Bollywood

The swine flu fear has affected the work of many films, as some of the technicians are either down with high fever, or they are not willing to do the work. Moreover, viral fever in the city is also taking its toll and people are confusing viral fever for swine flu.




When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was down with fever and chest infection, it was reported that the actress was having flu symptoms. Film shootings of films like Shankham have also been stopped, and the shootings have been rescheduled for a later date. The work in filmy circles would be stopped till the Ganesh Chaturth.

The good news is that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is not affected by the Swine flu and will recover soon and the actress would soon start shooting for Shankar’s Endhiran and Mani Ratnam’s Raavan opposite Abhishek Bachchan, Vipul Shah’s Action Replay where she will be paired with Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Guzaarish opposite Hrithik Roshan.

Recession hits Ash starrer Endhiran!

Hindi Cinema has become the latest sector in our country to be impacted by the global financial meltdown.

While Ashwairya Rai’s remuneration has not come down and she has been charging a price as high as 6 crores for some projects, recession has hit the production houses.

They are pulling their purse strings to save funds for rainy days. Sun Pictures, producer of Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan starrer Endhiran, recently called off the crew's plans to construct a set in the Ramoji Rao Film City for filming one of the songs. However,
security was the reason cited by the production house for the cancellation.



The song will now be shot at an exclusively constructed set at the MRC Nagar grounds, owned by the Sun Management. Shankar has also been reportedly consulted on this matter and the plan has been finalised.

Ash have some pity …on your producers!!!
