Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is one lucky gal from bollywood who can call the shots at the drop of a hat, if she so desires.
Well don’t believe this? Read on. It was during the shooting of the forth-coming Mani Ratnam flick ‘Raavan’, when there was a scene to be shot in the marshlands, as the scene required some mud to be splashed on to the actors, to get an authentic look for that particular scene.
The entire cast was assembled there to give their shots. Each one managed to give a proper shot, including hubby Abhishek.
When it was Aishwarya’s turn to give her shots, there was a total confusion. Reportedly, the sensitive actor was not able to bear the dirty stench of the marshes, and not able to withstand the smell for long, she just refused to go ahead and give her part of sequence for the film in that marshy land.
As the cast and crew stood confused by the turn of events, in came the director Mani Ratnam, to rescue Ash, when he heard the cause of the confusion.
He immediately called off the shoot. Then, he ordered an artificial marshland to be made in a swimming pool. When this was done, Aishwarya was called to do the shots, and the result was just perfect. Therefore, Mani sir was quite happy.
What is amazing is that Ash could dictate terms to even Mani sir, of whom even Abhishek Bachchan, her hubby is in total awe of. Everyone is scared to say anything to the strict director, unless somebody as famous as Ash, of course!
