Abhishek-Katrina starrer on hold for Abhishek-Ash film?

Actor Abhishek Bachchan was to shoot with Katrina Kaif for Rajkumar Santoshi’s film. However, that movie has been put on the back burner for the time being, and Abhishek will instead shoot with wife Aishwarya Rai for yet another Rajkumar Santoshi flick.

Now this isn’t the case of blood being thicker than water. In fact, it was Katrina Kaif who hasn’t yet issued dates for the movie. So Santoshi thought it would be best not to waste time and move on to the next project.

This Abhishek-Ash starrer is a Romcom and will be titled ‘Ladies and Gentlemen’. So ladies and gentlement, let’s watch out how funny and romantic our dear Bachchan pair can get, while Katrina sorts her dates out.

Actress Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan has been under the weather since the past few days. Ash apparently has been down with viral fever and flu, but despite her ill-health, the actress has been working towards keeping her commitments. According to a source, Ash was advised two to three weeks of bed rest to recuperate completely.

“The fever, combined with exhaustion due to her hectic work schedule, has taken a toll on her health. But she just refused to back out of her pending work commitments,” revealed the source. So, inspite of running a high fever, Ash shot for a magazine cover with hubby Abhishek Bachchan. “Aishwarya really put up a brave front during the shoot. Having Abhishek by her side helped her feel much better. Abhi, on his part, tended to Ash throughout as a dutiful husband,” confirmed another source.

Seems like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan holds her family heritage too close to her heart; but is Kajra Re her family heritage? Recently, Shah Rukh Khan was left wondering about the same thing!

Buzz is that the actress did the unthinkable. She refused to groove to Kajra Re with SRK because she will only dance to that song with her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan and husband Abhishek Bachchan.

A source told Times of India, “Shah Rukh had planned a gig around Bollywood heroines over the years and he wanted it to conclude with Aishwarya`s performance. He had planned to dance with her to Kajra Re. But Ash refused.”

Grapevine has it that the actress argued that Kajra Re was a family song and that she would not perform it with anyone else. After much failed persuasion, SRK had to scrap the plan.

2010 was a year that saw the maturing audience preferring content over stars. When small-budget films and intellectual scripts saw thumbs up from the public, some over hyped films were bloopers. Here’s a look at 5 disaster films of 2010:
1. Kites: Riding on huge hype and hoopla, ‘Kites’ came bringing in a smouldering chemistry between Greek God Hrithik and the Mexican curry Barbara, but dearth of a good screenplay made the film lick dust at box office. It was one of the biggest duds of 2010.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is perhaps one of those top rung stars who has always attracted attention the moment she reports that she’s not well.
Thus recently when she was in Dubai with hubby Abhishek Bachchan she was supposed to go for a press conference, but the meet was cancelled as Ash reported sick and therefore she couldn’t take on the strain. This bit of news was enough for all kinds of speculations that is Ash expecting? Is she on the family way? Well, after the couple is back in Mumbai there are reports that Ash is off to her mom’s house as she needs a long break.
Now before any more new speculations arise, the news is that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is only taking the break as she wants to spend some time with her nephew who has just been born.
The fact that Aishwarya ,who has had quite a hectic shooting schedule for the past two years ,certainly deserves the break and probably after getting herself refreshed by spending enough time with her mom and other family members she’ll be back with recharged energy and spirit.
However, not one to be an unprofessional, Ash will reportedly not cancel any of her prior commitments and be present at all the venues that she is supposed to be attending. So her fans will get to see her on and off during these two months.
