All praises for the indomitable spirit of Aishwarya Rai who braved the rough weather and continuous rains to shoot uninterruptedly for Mani Ratnam’s film Raavan in Cochin.

According to sources, the portions that were being shot required Ash to look drenched. The actress shot continuously in wet clothes, sometimes for as long as ten hours at a stretch because she had to film simultaneously for both the Hindi and Tamil version of the movie.

Needless to say, the long hours of shoot in the incessant downpour took a toll on the actress’s health and she developed fever. But Ash continued working despite director Mani Ratnam asking her to rest. She used to pop in a few pills and work throughout the day because she had to wrap the shoot in time and move on to Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Guzaarish.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the stunningly beautiful bollywood hottie who plays lead in Vipul Shah’s upcoming flick Action Replay opposite Akshay Kumar, has been rejecting music composer Pritam’s song repeatedly, thereby delaying the project.

Sources close to Vipul Shah reveal that the Bachchan bahu has already rejected Pritam’s composition for three times and has again asked him to make something special to fit the bill. In fact, the song number is to be filmed on Aishwarya Rai at the time of her entry in the film, and so she and filmmaker Vipul Shah insist that it has to be something special and not any run of the mill stuff, churned out by the music director and lyricists.

Now, music director Pritam and two lyricists Irshad and Kamil(have already written songs for Saif Ali Khan’s home production ‘Love Aaj Kal’) are starting all over again from the scratch to render the number, which can satisfy Aishwarya and Vipul Shah.
