We are all waiting for the Ash-Abhi starrer Ravana with baited breath. This will be the first movie starring the couple since Guru, and as luck would have it, even this one is directed by Mani Ratnam. What few people know is that while Ash was always to be a part of Ravana, Abhishek wasn’t the first choice for the role of Rama.

It was instead, one actor who Ash has had a slightly terse relationship with – Shah Rukh Khan. After Mani Ratnam cast Ash, he told her that he intended to ask Shah Rukh to play opposite her. Since vibes between them have been better lately, Ash agreed.

Ratnam then approached Shah Rukh, who was only too happy to agree. He told reporters the sequence of events recently. “Yes Mani sir had spoken to me. Actually there were two reasons I said yes to him. I had given up on Idiots or they had thrown me out of it, anyway you want to look at it.

bhishek Bachchan says he would like the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader Raj Thackeray to watch his ambitious fantasy adventure “Drona”, releasing Thursday.”I’d love Raj Thackeray to watch ‘Drona’. I hope he does. And I hope he enjoys it. I know he will. He loves watching good films. And I’d like to think ‘Drona’ is a good film,” Abhishek told IANS.

It seems Abhishek has no ill-feelings towards Raj Thackeray who disrupted the premiere of his father’s film “The Last Lear” after Jaya Bachchan’s “anti-Marathi” remarks last month. In fact, there is widespread speculation that Raj would be invited to the “Drona” premiere to be held here Oct 2.

Abhishek neither confirmed nor denied this possibility.

Both Preity zinta and Aishwarya rai were looking stunning at the premier of Drona, but which one of these beauties looked the hotter. My vote goes to Preity zinta as she was just looking out of this world in a sizzling black saree

Shahrukh Khan showed up with wife Gauri Khan and kids at the premiere of Drona .

The shutterbugs could not have enough of SRK with the Bachchans. Flashbulbs blinked in quick succession as a dapper looking SRK and his wife stood beside Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan to pose for the cameramen.

The premiere was a star-studded affair attended by the movie’s cast and a host of celebrities from B-Town including Preity Zinta , Karan Johar , Ritesh Deshmukh , Sajid Khan , Yash Chopra , Sushmita Sen , Anil Kapoor , Sonam Kapoor and Twinkle Khanna .

Aamir Khan was also invited but he couldn’t make it to the premiere because he was shooting for 3 Idiots .

Both Abhishek and Ash looked dazzling. He wore a black suit with a bow tie, while Ash wore a fetching blue-coloured outfit.

Bollywood actors Abhishek Bachchan and Priyanka Chopra unveiled the costume of their forthcoming film, ”Drona” in Mumbai on Monday evening.

The film is produced by Shrishti Arya and directed by Goldie Behl.

Behl’’s film stars Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Kay Kay Menon and Jaya Bachchan.

Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan who essays the role of Drona in the film said that he liked the subject when Behl narrated him the script.

I really liked the story of Drona, when Goldie narrated it to me. I really liked the subject and told him that whether you cast me or not but please make the film because I would love to watch this film in the theatre, said Abhishek.

Drona is the modern tale of one man’’s spectacular voyage through the labyrinths of mystic myths and legendary legacies. As good and evil clash in this contemporary fantasy fable, a breathtaking journey beckons one into a world of mythical heroes and malicious magicians, of cunning curses and absolute innocence.

Rumours are that the stay of the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with her husband Abhishek Bachchan throughout the shooting for the last schedule of Drona at Bikaner has more to it than meets the eye.

Buzz is Ash’s presence was more like she was there to guard her husband. She always reached the sets along with Abhishek, stayed there and left with him.

The reason for that allege gossipmongers is Ash does not appear to be too fond of Priyanka Chopra , who stars opposite Abhishek in ‘Drona’ and probability is that it flows from the fact that the two were linked during the making of Bluffmaster as the two had reportedly become very cozy.

Rumours continue that while at the sets, Ash tends to completely ignore Priyanka even while she exchanges pleasantries with the rest of the crew and apparently, Abhishek too tries keeping a guard when his wife is around.
