Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is being more than just an actor for her close friend Sanjay Leela Bhansali as she is playing the role of a saviour time and again. Earlier she helped him with the script, and now DNA has learnt that Ash has provided inputs to a dance sequence for Sanjay’s forthcoming project Guzaarish that is currently being shot. The choreographer got the mood and the feel of the song all wrong and just when Sanjay was about to lose his temper, Ash managed to allay the troubled film-maker.

An eyewitness to the account who was present on the sets reveals, “Ash was shooting for a song sequence for Guzaarish. And the director was unhappy with the steps of one particular line of the song. But Aishwarya was very patient and she tried over 25 variations/options to get a suitable step for that particular line. She also gave her inputs and tried to think of better dance steps. That proved to be really beneficial for the choreographer.”

Aishwarya Rai, the gorgeous Bachchan bahu who plays the lead in Vipul Shah’s upcoming flick ‘Action Replay’ opposite Khiladi Akshay Kumar, is all set to tickle your funny bone in July with her first ever comic role in this venture.

Though, Aishwarya Rai’s another flick ‘Raavan’ directed by Mani Rathnam will be releasing on June 18, Vipul Shah feels that it would not affect the box office prospects of his ‘Action Replay’. The confidence of the veteran director comes from the fact that ‘Action Replay’ was as different from Mani Rathnam’s ‘Raavan’ as chalk and cheese, and hence, they would have different segments of patrons for them.

In fact, ‘Action Replay’ is out and out comedy, wherein Ash will be showcasing her comic talent for the first time, while ‘Raavan’ is based on the mythological story of Ramayan with modern interpretation to suit the contemporary times. Trade sources say that despite of all differences between the two movies, Vipul Shah is likely to consult director Mani Rathnam before deciding upon the final release date of his flick.

The beautiful actress hasn’t been seen on the silver screen since Jodhaa Akbar and this year she has the multi-crore Endhiran with Rajnikant, Mani Ratnam’s ambitious project Raavan, Vipul Shah’s full-on-entertainer Action Replayy and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s magnum opus Guzaarish. In short, fate of three mega-budget films depends on Ash. According to trade pundits Rs 300 crore approximately is riding on her slender back.

And this amount is more than the money riding on any Khan, Kapoor or Kumar this year. Oh yeah!
