Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan started her filmy career in Tamil that was also coincidently Mani Ratnam’s movie ‘Iruvar’ starring opposite Mohanlal.

She did many Tamil movies but never lend her own voice. Now the actress has decided to dub in her own voice for her upcoming Mani Ratnam’s Tamil film Raavana. Earlier Mani Ratnam had to use some professional artist for the job but when Aishwarya Bachchan wanted to take the initiative then the director arranged a trained teacher for Aishwarya who could help her in the dialogues.

Ash has recently winded up dubbing for the Hindi version of the film and is now all set to lend her voice for the Tamil Raavan. Her next movie in Tamil is Endhiran that also casts Superstar Rajinikanth.

Poor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan! It seems like the actress has been as unlucky as fellow Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif lately! After falling ill on the set of “Action Replay,” Ash cut herself while shooting her new movie, “Raavana.”
When Ash, one of B-town’s biggest stars, fell ill while shooting “Action Replay” with Akshay Kumar, Bollywood was on high alert! The model and actress had spent a week on Manori Island working with Vipul Shah on the movie that tells the story of a time-traveling man, played by Akshay.

Director Mani Ratnam started shooting Raavana in 2007 and today, he is still not sure how to end his film. Still undecided over what makes an apt climax for the film, he is flitting between four options. He has shot four potential climaxes in Malshej, but no one on the set knows which one he is likely to go with.

A source from the unit said, “The first ending has Raavana winning over Sita (Aishwarya Rai). Another option is that she goes the conventional way and returns to Ram.” The third and fourth options make life easier for Mani: either Ram dies or Raavana meets his end. So, that closes one door for Sita and she is less burdened by the choice.

The latest buzz doing the rounds in bolly circles is that the film ‘Raavana’s director Mani Ratnam had taken a real life like shot in one of the scenes, which nearly froze the unit due to fright for a moment .

It so happened that the director, who had undergone a bomb scare in real life, when a bomb was hurled at him and luckily it burst in mid air just before it reached him, wanted to incorporate this particular scene in his film ‘Raavana’.
Now, the two leads that is, Aishwarya and the south star Vikram, were to be the ones to be attacked with the bomb. For the shoot, a petrol bomb was to be used, this had to be hurled from a distance of 25 feet, and it was supposed to burst mid air just 15 feet from where the stars were.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might be a thorough professional but she doesn’t mind giving priority to family commitments occasionally.

Which resulted in director Mani Ratnam going ahead with the shooting of Raavana without her.

The actress wasn’t present on the sets of Raavana in Lonavla on Monday as she was celebrating Bhai Dooj in Mumbai.

A source from the unit says, “Mani sir was scheduled to shoot a train scene at Lonavla station on Monday and Tuesday with Aishwarya and South actor Vikram.

Although Mani sir had permission to shoot only for two days at the station, Aishwarya couldn’t make it on one of the days because of a family ritual.

Without wasting time, Mani sir continued to shoot the scene with Vikram and a few portions of some action scenes and packed up early in the evening.
