It passes from Aishwarya to Katrina

What was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s, is usually Katrina Kaif’s next. First it was a jewellery line and then a doll endorsement that was originally meant for Ash, but was later bagged by Katz.

Now news from the admen has it that a soap that film stars endorse, wants Katrina to sign up. “It is not confirmed whether she will replace Aishwarya,” said an ad guru, “but, yes, Katrina is being considered.”

Another strong indication is that Katrina may probably be signed by the hair product company and also the watch brand that the world’s most beautiful woman endorses.

But Katrina denies being in the market for these brands. “It’s not true,” says Bollywood’s lucky charm who is having a golden run at the box-office. She admits that Aishwarya is one of the biggest and most prestigious names in showbiz, but denies any career-mapping like the Bachchan bahu’s.

Yet, ad circles say wait and watch, “Katz’s brand team has been advised to get her the endorsement for both the hair product and the watch.” These could well be the actress’ next big announcements that would take her to another level, internationally.

The charming actress will be seen in The Pink Panther 2 which is a English movie that will complete in 2009. For 2010 she's busy shooting for Endhiran, a Tamil flick which is under Post-production and Ashokavana. Raavan and Action Replay are also in the list.

Ashwairya Rai – A.R. Rahman aficianado!!!

The double-Oscar winner A. R. Rahman is a master musician, had made India proud and had composed music for maximum of her films.
Yes, we are talking about Bollywood actor and former beauty queen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Ash is all praises for Rehmaan. She admits that working with Rahman has been an absolute pleasure. The journey has been long and the two had started off their careers at almost the same time. It’s not just from Taal to Guru, but it’s from ‘Iruvar’ till ‘Ravana’.

In fact, maximum of Ash’s films have enjoyed the music of Rahman and as a music lover and fan, she had always admired his music and thinks she is a gifted musician. Rai was expressing her views while addressing a press conference in Kolkata. The Bollywood actress, who was in Kolkata for the shooting of her upcoming flick ‘Ravana’, said she was elated at Rehman’s double win at the Oscars for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.

Rai added, though Rahman was very much celebrated in India but winning Oscar meant the global recognition, which was indeed special. Rai also shared her experiences of working with actor Steve Martin in her latest Hollywood flick ‘The Pink Panther 2′. Rai said, “Working with Steve Martin was a good experience since he is the institution of comedy. We grew up watching his movie. So when it came to working with him she thought privileged and very happy to have got a chance to work with all these great actors.
She found her character in ‘Ravana’ quite challenging too.She is cast opposite to hubby Abhishek in this Mani Ratnam flick.
