Apparently, the producers have approached Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit to judge the show. The show will have the common public as participants.

Informs a source, “The production house is leaving no stone unturned in making the show a huge affair. The show is for commoners and there will be auditions at all the major cities in India. Cineyug has approached Madhuri Dixit and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and they both have liked the project. The only issue with Aishwarya is dates as the show will last for three months. One is trying to get them on-board but the producers are also in talks with Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffrey incase things don’t materialse with Aishwarya. Madhuri would probably do the show but she has still to sign on the dotted lines. Choreographer Shiamak Davar has been confirmed as the task master on the show whose job is similar to that of an umpire in any match.”

There’s no dearth of the well-wishers of Aishwarya Rai. Just a few days back, when it was learnt that the actress is down with “flu-like symptoms”, rumour began to make rounds that it’s probably swine flu and her well-wishers sent her so many “speedy-recovery” messages that her cell phone crashed.

“But it was the common flu. For some bizarre reason, every body assumed that I already had swine-flu. Whoever started that rumour, it caused my phone crash. But, that was not true,” Aishwarya said at the launch of the Conquest Ceramic series of Longines watches in Hyderabad. She’s the brand ambassador of the Swiss watchmaker.

Speaking about the flu she had, Ash told the reporters: “I had the common-flu. I had fever and very bad chest-congestion. By the grace of God I’m here today and back to a very hectic schedule, so literally after four days’ rest.”  The actress was grateful to all her well wishers for the speedy-recovery messages.

Due to the extended shooting schedule of “Ravaana”,Aishwarya Rai and Akshay Kumar is delaying the remaining shoot of “Action Replay”.Vipul planned to release “Action Replay” in the month of October 2009 but having Aishwarya to shoot extra portions for “Raavana” has spoiled his plans.

Aishwarya need to shoot three more songs for “Action Replay”. Vipul might get Ash’s dates in September, but it should also match with Akshay, who is very busy.

Sources revealed that film is based on Hollywood film “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button”.

The director of “Action Replay” says, “Yes, what you have heard is true. A fortnight from Aishwarya is needed to shoot three songs. I’m sure she’s as eager to complete the film as I am. Unfortunately, “Raavana” has taken far more of her time than she had expected. Besides, she is also shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Guzaarish”, so I have no option, but to wait.”

enough to give the heebie-jeebies to the most seasoned playboys.

On one side, there was his former girlfriend Aishwarya Rai, whom he had such a torrid affair with that people can’t stop talking about it even today. And on the other side there was Ranbir Kapoor, who has been on more than one occasion linked with Salman’s longtime girlfriend, Katrina Kaif. To everyone’s surprise, Salman was not the least bit perturbed.

It once used to be said about nautankis and nautankiwalis of stage and reel that the correct rule describing their relevance was simply to be limited to ‘paisa pheko tamasha dekho.’ That’s where the mainstream Indian public may need to end up placing Aishwarya Rai in retrospect ultimately.

This in light of the news that actor Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai (currently in Guzarish with Hrithik Roshan) will reportedly patch up after a violent tamasha of allegations and counterallegations few years ago of these actors involving Aishwarya Rai getting assaulted by Salman Khan and getting kicked out of the film by Shahrukh Khan.

Khan had also suggested Rai was manipulating professional platform using personal associations. From commercial perspective, Khan’s decision to kick Rai out may have worked as Chalte Chalte fared alright at the box office, faring just under the moderate budget hits of the year.

Aishwarya had performed some stunts herself in the Bollywood film Dhoom 2 earlier. Now the actress recently attempted some risky stunts for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan..  According to sources, the actress did a stunning action sequence without a body double, and the scene was shot in Athirampally Falls near Chalakudy in Kerala. The scene features her jumping into the 80 feet falls from a big rock.

The rocks at the falls are known to be slippery and the water flow is turbulent. Mani Ratnam considered using a male stuntman dressed as a woman for the scene, but Aishwarya came forward and said she was willing to do the stunts herself. After taking a few monitor shots with a dummy of Aishwarya’s weight, the actual scene was canned in one take. Ash executed the scene with perfection, the source revealed.

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai is elated over bagging the main leads in two mega south Indian projects – Mani Ratnam’s Ravan and Shankar’s Endhiran.

“Shankar had approached me previously to work with him, but it never materialised. Finally, everything landed in place and here we are working together after 10 years,” said Aishwarya on the sets of Ravan.

Tamil superstar Rajinikant, who is playing the male lead in Endhiran, was also very keen to work with Aishwarya and had tried to sign her for his earlier ventures – Padaiyappa and Chandramukhi, but the actress could not spare the dates.

Speaking about Ratnam’s Ravan, in which she once again teams up with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya said: “I don’t want to reveal much about it. Working with Mani is always a delight. He is a man of perfection. I am lucky to act in his movies again and again.”
