It is often said that in Bollywood a lot rides on the hero. But when an actress has all the big-budget films lined up for release one after the other, what do you say? Aishwarya Rai has all the big movies in her kitty, and the lady seems set to alter the power dynamics in Bollywood this year.

The beautiful actress hasn’t been seen on the silver screen since Jodhaa Akbar and this year she has the multi-crore Endhiran with Rajnikant, Mani Ratnam’s ambitious project Raavan, Vipul Shah’s full-on-entertainer Action Replayy and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Guzaarish. In short, fate of three mega-budget films depends on Ash. According to trade pundits Rs 300 crore approximately is riding on her slender back.

And this amount is more than the money riding on any Khan, Kapoor or Kumar this year. Oh yeah!

2010 belongs to Ash!
