Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been losing one after another endorsement but by winning with highest votes she has proved yet again that she did not lose her power and still ruling the film industry. An extensive survey showed that she is still on the top and has the ability to push behind her female contenders like Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and even Madhuri Dixit. Recently a survey conducted by a popular research agency, Hansa Research revealed that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the most powerful female actor. The survey has been carried on large scale measuring the Celebrity Power in India.

What’s more interesting is that in the race of powerful celebrity her father-in-law and superstar Amitabh Bachchan has also garnered maximum votes. Ash bagged over 98.8 percent votes and Amitabh has also not scored bad. Cricketing star Sachin Tendulkar was few votes away from them.

After getting fabulous performances out of Tabu in Maqbool, Kareena Kapoor in Omkara and hopefully, Priyanka Choopra in Kaminey, Vishal Bhardwaj is all set to team up with the one actress he has always wanted to work with.

Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan and Vishal Bhardwaj are finally getting together after many false starts. The project will go into production at the end of the year.

Says Aishwarya, “Vishal and I have wanted to work together ever since he was the music composer on a project that got shelved. We had promised one another that I’d start in his film whenever he turned director.

Right after his directorial debut in the children’s film Makdee Vishal had offered Aishwarya a film called Timbuctoo . That got shelved.

Pakistan, demesne of stringent discipline had banned Karan Johar’s Dostana since it was reported to have obnoxious contents of ‘Gay Issues’. With a lay man Khuram Khan filing a writ petition, a single bench of High Court of Lahore passed the order of banning the film. The court has stated that the movie propagates homosexualisms that is not entertained or supported in Pakistan. Of course, in reality it’s considered as a crime punishable by whipping, imprisonment and even death.

Khuram Khan, the petitioner stated Dostana promotes gay marriage that is proscribed in Islamic as well other religion. The petitioner had argued that Pakistan Censor Board shouldn’t allow the film’s release even though film distributors have obliged to screen it.  Also he added, “according to Islamic religion, Allah tells us in the Qur’an that He created everything in pairs”.

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.

Priyanka Chopra ditto copied Aishwarya Rai Bachchan attitude on Cannes event at the premiere of her latest release movie “Love Story 2050″ in London. They say imitation is the best form of flattery. But one finds no reason as to why would someone like Priyanka want to flatter Aishwarya Rai Bachchan?

Strange as it may sound, but the fact is that at the red carpet premiere of “Love Story 2050″, film lead actress, Priyanka Chopra walked in a lokk that was so very similar to that of Aishwarya’s on day one of Cannes 2008.

If one has to play the popular game of “Spot the 10 differences” between the two photographs, then the first difference would obviously be the face but spotting the rest 9 difference seem as though as combing a bald man!
