Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai has had such a busy 2010. And now, the news is that Aishwarya Rai will reportedly play lead in Shyam Benegal’s next, a female oriented film that will begin production, somewhere in 2011.

The film is described as a special project that takes Aishwarya Rai Bachchan into a different time zone. However, it is not a period film. Aishwarya told DNA, “I’ve been working so hard this year that I haven’t had a chance to look at scripts. But yes, the one that Shyam Benegal has given me is very very special. We’ve been meaning to work with one another for years.”

Shyam Benegal (if you don’t already know him) is a prolific Indian director and screenwriter. With his first four feature films Ankur (1973), Nishant (1975) Manthan (1976) and Bhumika (1977) he created a new genre, which has now come to be called the “middle cinema” in India. He was awarded the Padma Shri in 1976 and the Padma Bhushan in 1991. On 8 August 2007, he was awarded the highest award in Indian cinema for lifetime achievement, the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for the year 2005. He has won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Hindi seven times. His last movie was in year 2009, named “Well Done Abba”. And it was really really a great movie. So high expectations again from the next movie :d

Aishwarya Rai has still lot movies coming up. Here is the list of the forthcoming films:

• Endhiran directed by Shankar with co-stars Rajnikant and Danny Denzongpa due in theaters on September 24.
• Action Replayy directed by Vipul Amrutlal Shah with co-stars Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Neha Dhupia, Randhir Kapoor and Ranvijay Singh due for release on November 5.
• Guzaarish directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali with co-stars Hrithik Roshan, Aditya Bal, Monikangana Dutta and Nafisa Ali due in theaters on November 19.

I seriously have great expectation from all these movies. I hope they do not meet with the same fate that our Beera “Raavan” had. At least Guzaarish will be a major hit, am pretty sure about that.

After having gone through a rough patch in the flick ‘Raavan’, the couple, Aishwarya and Abhishek has almost been regarded as a not so successful couple on screen. Right after their amazing on screen chemistry in the Mani Ratnam flick ‘Guru’, the same positive vibes were expected from the duo in ‘Raavan’, too, but, inspite of the same director, Mani Sir having given the great dimensions to the flick, something drastically went wrong.

Thus, ‘Raavan’, almost made Ash and Abhi, the real couple, a not so hot and happening one in reel life! Insiders reveal that, the sizzling chemistry no longer is visible between Ash and Abhi. However, there are yet some film makers in B-Town, who still have faith in this real life couple, and a flick with the two starring as a lead pair just might start rolling soon. Reports are that director Abhishek Kapoor is toying with the idea of making a film on writer.

Chetan Bhagat’s book titled ‘3 Mistakes of My Life’. For the flick, he is on the verge of signing Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan as the lead pair. We just hope this flick does not become a mistake in the couple’s life too!

Now, speculations have already started doing the rounds, as some are quite skeptical about the outcome of the flick, as this particular book is not as popular as the other books, written by the same writer. This entire rattle, along with the gossip that Ash and Abhi have now become a thanda (cold) pair on screen, is now the hot topic of conversation at coffee shops and near water coolers at offices! What’s your take?

The day when it was announced that actors Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as well as double Academy winner AR Rahman were coming together in a project titled Endhiran, people expected some magic from them.

Directed by S Shankar, the film is the costliest movie made in India to date, with a budget of approximately Rs140 crore and when the movie had its music release in Malaysia a couple of days back, anticipation and anxiousness were running riot about the fate of it.

But it looks like the movie might just justify the reason behind all the hype. Its music has already raced to the top of the world music charts, dismissing the likes of Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Rihanna and even Rahman’s very own Slumdog Millionaire tracks, among other chart busters. This is the first time any Indian film music has topped the charts.

But what’s most interesting about this development is that Rajnikanth is very candid about calling Ash as his best co-star to date. By the sound of it, it looks like Rajnikanth has been charmed by Aishwarya’s beauty and acting prowess.

He says, “There is no other beauty in our generation like Aishwarya Rai and she is a born artist.” He also jests that Ash’s father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan might not be too happy that he is praising his bahu. Hope the other Tamil actresses are listening!

Aishwarya Rai and Rajinikanth starrer, and again one of the most anticipated movie of the year 2010, Robot a.k.a Endhiran is set for a mega launch. As mentioned before, Endhiran is supposed to be the most expensive movie made in India. And the first movie promos/trailers of Endhiran (Robot) is out on YouTube.

Frankly, I’m a little shocked at the moment after watching these trailers. Forget what the expectations level are, but i see no mind blowing special effects or nothing so compelling in these videos that could take me to watch Endhiran. Anyways, i can only wish that this is some sort of strategy and they want to show the actual mind blowing special effects only in the movie itself so that crowd gets their money’s worth. Endhiran is due to be launched on September 3 ‘ 2010. Meanwhile you can watch Aishwarya Rai and Rajinikanth “Anna Rascala” in these Endhiran’s promo trailers.

I have all three official trailers of Endhiran combined into one. So that you don’t have to go and look into web for more trailers. I think our audience deserves something special. So here are the three trailers of Endhiran starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajinikanth.

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hollywood actress Kate Winslet will be seen together very soon. However, the two actresses are not to be seen in a movie but for cosmetics commercial.

Both actresses are celebrity ambassadors for L’Oreal and it is said that an internationally acclaimed director will be brought in to shoot the commercials in Italy.

Some believe that this commercial will be the beginning of L’Oreal’s plans to move Aishwarya to a market targeted towards the over 30 demographic. This comes after the actress turned down an offer to endorse a skin lightening cream for beauty product company.

The latest release of Aishwarya Rai’s “Raavan” may not have done well at the office but this has not affected the market value of the beauty queen.

Aishwarya’s working relationship with L’Oreal began in 2003 and she has appeared in commercials for L’Oreal products like shampoo, hair colour, lipstick and mascara. Many believe that she is versatile in her appearance. She is one Bollywood actress, who has been brand ambassador for a number of top international brands. This TV commercial of L’Oreal is going to be a visual treat for the viewers across the world.
