Director Shankar has thus far directed Aishwarya Rai twice in his career. She was the heroine in Jeans, which Shankar had directed way back in 1998 when Ash had just entered the film industry.
When Shankar was asked about how it was working with Ash then and now, he replied she has turned into a pro. He recalls that she needed a lot of explanation in Jeans but in Endhiran she understood the nuances of filmmaking. Shankar added that she works like a hero right from 7 am (that’s when she enters the sets) till its time to go home.

The director also clarified that Ash wrote her Endhiran dialogues in English and came well prepared everyday.

Aishwarya Rai To Make Her Toll In Tollywood And Bollywood

Aishwarya Rai Peeking into the sloppy graph in film career after marriage, Aishwarya Rai seems to strike back powerfully with good many films of Bollywood and Tollywood set to go for releases nationwide this year.

However, it is not a fresh chapter for her in South’s Tollywood who earlier had her taste of success in flicks like ‘Jeans’, ‘Kandukondain Kandukondain’ etc., and now it is ‘Raavan’ and ‘Robot’ which are to be versioned in Tamil language.

Going out for a new outlook in both the flicks ‘Raavan’ and ‘Robot’ where in former one she is taking into for a conventional look and the later one in a contemporary image is equally very challenging.

In ‘Ravaan’ the actress teams up with hubby Ahbishek Bachchan under the supervision of renowned director Mani Ratnam while in ‘Robot’ she takes her stand with icon of Tollywood Rajnikanth, who surprised everyone with a very well toned Tamil accent.

Aishwarya Rai launches RETTAICHUZHI music, courtesy Robot!!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the gorgeous bahu of Amitabh Bachchan who plays lead in Shankar’s upcoming flick ‘Enthiran: The Robot’ opposite Tamil superstar Rajnikanth, obliged the producer by launching the music of another Tamil production ‘Rettaichuzhi’ in Chennai.

The film is being directed by talented Thamira, while veteran Balchander and Bharathiraaja play pivotal roles in the flick. Aishwarya endeared herself to the audience when she spoke in fluent Tamil amidst her largely English language speech on the occasion. As the film is being produced by Shankar, who had earlier directed her in ‘Jeans’ and presently doing the same in ‘Enthiran’, Aishwarya could not refuse and obliged him with her presence.

However, her stunning beauty and impeccabale manners (she stood on spotting veteran Balchander and others) had the audiences mesmerized throughout the function. She also promised that she would love to watch the movie in leisure. In fact, Aishwarya Rai was in Chennai with her mother Brinda Rai, for the shooting of her upcoming film ‘Enthiran’, which is being made in both Tamil and Hindi languages by Shankar.

1125200911-13-06ambeauty_queLooks like all beauty queens believe Tamil Cinema is the best place to kickstart their film career! Almost every Miss India in the recent past has made her presence felt down South before embarking on her Bollywood journey.

Aishwarya Rai debuted in Iruvar and continued to appear in Tamil films on and off (Jeans, Kandukondein Kandukondein). Now she will be seen after several years in Shankar’s Rajinikanth starrer Enthiran.

Sushmita Sen too tried her luck in South Indian films. She appeared opposite Nagarjuna in Rakshagan. Priyanka Chopra too made her cine debut with the Tamil film Tamizhan opposite Ilayathalapathy Vijay and Lara Dutta appeared with Action King Arjun in Aarasatchi.

The trend still continues, not only with beauty queens, but even Bollywood actresses doing more than shaking a leg or two in South Indian films. We have seen Kajol, Tabu, Sameera Reddy, Bipasha Basu, Kangna Ranaut, Tanisha, Riya Sen, Neetu Chandra and of course Mallika Sherawat in Kollywood. And then we have Genelia and Tamannaah who debuted in Hindi but found name and fame in Telugu and Tamil.

ash1The queen of Bollywood Aishwarya Rai does not have enough time for motherhood. Aishwarya and her husband Abhishek Bachchan recently celebrated their second wedding anniversary.

The two are as happy in the company of each other as they were two years ago.

During the last two years there were innumerable rumours of Aishwarya’s pregnancy as well as the strained relations between the two Bollywood stars, but actually there was no truth in those rumours and speculations.

The two are top Bollywood stars and both have a number of ongoing projects that need their full attention.

Aishwarya rai is involved in several big budget films and probably cannot spare enough time to expand the family.

Despite being around 35 years old she is enjoying a Bollywood career that was not enjoyed by many actresses in India’s Hindi film industry. And her involvement in so many ventures has not allowed her to go for kids.

Will Aishwarya fight Lok Sabha electionWill Aishwarya Rai fight Lok Sabha elections on Samajwadi party ticket? The question has become more intense following the sudden announcement of Sanjay Dutt’s candidature from Lucknow on Samajwadi party ticket.

It seems amazing but unfortunate that a follower of Lohiya, Mulayam Singh Yadav has started running behind Bollywood stars, even tainted ones in order to win some Parliamentary seats.

It is not just an issue of Aishwarya Rai. She is a wonderful woman and a great actress, but there are already several Bollywood personalities who anyhow overshadow this Lohiyaite Mulayam Singh Yadav.

There are already two Jayas, Jaya Parda and Jaya Bachchan. Now there will be along list of other stars who will give company to these Bollywood personalities.

Samajwadi party is trying to rope in everyone it seems fit to win election to contest next Lok Sabha elections for it. Just two days ago the party announced the name of Sanjay Dutt as a candidate from Lucknow Lok Sabha seat.
