Aishwarya Rai Bachchan played mediator when she convinced her husband Abhishek to play the lead opposite her in Kandokondein, director Rajeev Menon’s next film. However, it didn’t take her long to go back on her word and betray the director as soon as another opportunity came along.
It’s not a hidden fact that Ash wants to concentrate on movies with her husband when it comes to Bollywood, and she is in the process of completing Ravan with Mani Ratnam.
She was bowled over by Menon’s script and asked Abhishek to sign on for the film. Meanwhile, upcoming director Abhinay Deo, who is directing Aamir Khan produced Delhi Belly, approached the Bachchan couple for his next film. Since Deo is a name to look out for, Abhishek and Aishwarya instantly gave him their nod of approval. Their dates, which were initially given to Menon were shifted to Deo’s film. Menon is still reeling under what has happened as his entire project is now caught in a rut.

Mani Ratnam is being extra careful in making his adaptation of the Ramayana starring Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The film, which revolves around the kidnapping of Sita, has been adapted to suit modern times.
Aishwarya plays the role of a married woman, who is kidnapped by Abhishek.
Soon they get attracted to each other and the story progresses. Mani’s Raavan is played by AB Jr.
Mani is being extra cautious about not incurring the wrath of religious groups and has done away with an intimate scene between Aishwarya and her kidnapper.
Abhishek’s sister commits suicide after being humiliated by Vikram (who plays Ash’s husband), so Abhi kidnaps Ash and takes her into the jungle.
Over time, they develop feelings for each other and there’s a subtle love track between them.

She was last seen with Steve Martin in Pink Panther 2 is now busy wrapping up films back home. CNN-IBN catches up with Aishwarya Rai in Hyderabad on the sets of Shankar’s new film and gets the former Miss World talking about her unconventional romantic films with hubby Abhishek Bachchan and working with Tamil star Rajinikanth.
: Ash, what’s interesting about the films that you are doing with your husband Abhishek after marriage is that none of them is a conventional, pure romantic film. Sarkar Raj – just when a hint of a relationship began – ended, and in Mani Ratnam’s Ravan, it’s almost a forbidden relationship. Is that much more fun than a typical romantic film – which you both have done before?
Aishwarya Rai: We’d love to do it several times, trust me, we’d love to. We’d love to do an intense romantic film the conventional way as well. (laughs) But we’re glad the directors are coming with subjects and characters and…
