Rumours were abuzz that Ash will shake a leg to her sasur ji Amitabh Bachchan’s famous 1981 Laawaris number ‘Apni To Jaise Taise’ in Nadiawala’s ‘Houseful’. But the floating rumours have been put to rest by sources that claim that Ash has still not okayed the part. A source close to Ash said, “Aishwarya has been approached by Sajid Khan but she has yet to revert back to them. She is busy with the shooting of ‘Guzaarish’, ‘Action Replay’ and ‘Endhiran’.

Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is said to have bought the rights of the song already.

If Ash nods her head in agreement then this would be her third item number after ‘Ishq Kamina’ with Shah Rukh Khan and ‘Kajra Re’ with hubby Abhishek and Father-in-law Amitabh.

When it comes to the Bachchans, it all runs in the family.

The news is that Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan will do an item number in comedian-turned-director Sajid Khan’s upcoming multistarrer, Housefull.

The song to which Ash will be gyrating is said to be dad-in-law Amitabh Bachchan’s hit number, Apni toh jaise taise, from his 1981 hit Laawaris.

The film’s producer, Sajid Nadiadwala, has bought the rights of the song, though Sajid Khan is mum. “I am neither confirming nor denying the news. We will make an announcement at the right time,” says Khan.

Of late, the Bachchans have been going out of their way to push the prospects of each other. Last week, when Abhishek Bachchan made his debut as a TV show host–Bingo on Colors channel–Big B was his first guest.

Obviously, Abhishek needs all the push.
