Prabhu is doing a prominent role in Mani Ratnam’s Ashokavanam

Prabhu is doing a prominent role in Mani Ratnam’s Ashokavanam (interim title) which is being made with Aishwarya Rai and Vikram in the lead roles. The film also stars Prithviraj and Priyamani. Now, it is rumoured that actress Ranjitha will pair up with Prabhu in this film. At present, Ashokavanam’s filming is going on under high security in Kerala. The film crew also celebrated Aishwarya Rai’s birthday on November 1st in a grand function held at Rain Forest Hotel.

Actor Aishwarya Rai has denied defaulting on payment of taxes in the windmill project, which she had invested in a couple of years ago.
Reacting to a news report published in the TOI on Saturday, the actor’s father Krishnaraj Rai said,” The windmill power plants owned by her are managed and operated by Suzlon Energy who have assured us that there are no dues pending. We have not received any notice from the government either.”

With his film Slumdog Millionaire

shining among the top 10 films of the weekend on three continents, Anil Kapoor, who plays a complicated quiz show host in it, has set a record for an Indian actor. Not even Aishwarya Rai, who got miles of free publicity in the West thanks to her appearance on David Letterman show four years ago, can come anywhere near the success Kapoor has achieved. Her biggest success in North America, the 2004 romantic comedy Bride & Prejudice grossed  $6.6 million in North America about half of what Slumdog has nabbed in its early run.

Now Aishwarya Rai is perhaps living the most difficult yet productive period of her life. Why? Because o

f the monumental effort she has to put in while working in Mani Rathnam’s bilingual and Shankar’s Enthiran simultaneously. Imagine the pressure she would be experiencing:

A role in a high-class Mani Rathnam or Shankar film does not come easy; it entails for an immense amount of hard work for the artist! Plus she needs to be fit and in good shape for Enthiran, which will reportedly require her to do some stunts as well. To top it all, she has to shuttle between Salakkudi in Kerala and Chennai, where Mani’s Ravana/ Ashokavanam and Shankar’s Enthiran are being shot respectively.

The actor chose to do The Pink Panther because she adores comedian Peter Sellers who was in four Pink Panther films.

Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan Hollywood film The Pink Panther 2 is ready for release. The actor says one of the reasons she chose to do the film was her love for British comedian Peter Sellers. The three-time Oscar-nominated artist gained widespread recognition appearing in four Pink Panther movies.

“I loved Peter Sellers as inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther series when I was a kid and watched these films. It was hilarious, a laugh riot and a thorough family entertainer. People across different age groups love The Pink Panther because the films always bring a smile to one’s face,” Ash says.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has given her nod to act in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next film. She is also giving her unstinted support to the director who is facing rough weather after the debacle of his last venture, Saawariya.

Saawariya was panned by critics and crashed at the box office. But Ash feels that one failure does not mean that Bhansali should be written off from the Bollywood map as he is one of the best talents the country has ever produced.

Not just in flicks, Bollywood has witnessed lots and lots of triangular stories in real lives of celebrities too. So, who’re those actors topping the charts of best triangular love stories? One of the leading media channels had figured it was none other than the entire family of Big B. Yup! Amitabh Bacchan, Jaya Bachchan, his son Abhishek and wife Aishwarya Rai…
