It all started with the Big B when he starred as a 13-year-old child suffering from ‘progeria’ in ‘Paa’. Now Aishwarya thinks it is her turn to give new looks and she plays the role of a very old lady in the Vipul Shah’s new upcoming film ‘Action replay’. She exposes herself to extensive make-up and reliable sources say it takes nearly 4 to 5 hours for one sitting. It is also said that Paul Pattison, who fashioned Mel Gibson for ‘Braveheart’ and Tom Cruise for ‘Mission Impossible’ is also roped in to help Aishwarya in her make-up.
They say that the film is about time travel and she appears as an old lady in one part of her roles. It took several sittings and many trials for the make-up model to be finalized and they say Aishwarya was very patient and cooperative. Amitabh also went through a similar ordeal for his role in ‘Paa’.

With her crowning glory in 1994, there has been no looking back for this green-eyed beauty. She worked as a model before fame touched her feet at Sun City, South Africa in 1994. Born on 1 November 1973, Aishwarya Rai made her movie debut in Mani Ratnam’s Tamil film Iruvar in 1997 and had her first commercial success in the Tamil movie Jeans. One of the most beautiful women in the world came to the attention of Bollywood in the movie Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Her performance in the film won her the Film fare Best Actress Award. Later in the year 2002 she was seen in Bhansali’s next project, Devdas, which let her win her second Best Actress Award at the Filmfare. Her career hit a slight downfall during 2003–2005, but quickly scaled heights with her appearance in the blockbuster Dhoom 2, which also turned out to be her biggest Bollywood commercial success. Success then did not let her move back with her further blockbuster releases Guru and Jodhaa Akbar. Her career has a record of acting in various languages apart from doing Hollywood projects.

Aishwarya Rai, or most oftenly referred to as Ash, apart from being a regular at the Cannes Film Festival red carpet and L’Oreal brand ambassador, is going beyond her glitz and glamour tag. A winner at the Miss World pageant in 1994 reinvents herself on the global scene as an activist for social and humanitarian causes. In May 2009, the Bollywood diva alongside Queen Noor of Jordan, addressed a press conference to announce the third edition of the International Tribunes Cinema Verite event took place in Geneva (Oct 6 to 8)and Paris (Oct 9-10) later the same year. An event dedicated to films and social actions, Cinema Verite is a special film event to promote human rights and the eight Millennium Development Goals adopted by the United Nations. The Bachchan daughter in law was the first non-Hollywood actress to lend her name to the cause. Previously too Aishwarya has taken time off her schedule both in the bollywood as well as her international schedule to walk the ramp for social causes, one being an event in aid of breast cancer research at the Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai.

Aishwarya Krishnaraj Rai; one of the queens of Bollywood and now the daughter-in-law of the Bachchan family was born on 1st Nov 1973 in Manglore, Karnatka, India. Born to a marine engineer father and a teacher mother at Manglore, this 5′ 7” beauty is the younger of two siblings. At the age of four, her family moved to Bombay permanently. She did her matriculation from Arya Vidya Mandir, and then completed her twelfth standard from Ruparel College. Fondly known as Ash, this celestial beauty wanted to pursue a course in architecture but fate showed her new career openings after she was crowned the Miss World Title at Sun City in 1994 and has since then become the hottest property of Bollywood. Her entry into the world is considered as default as that is not what she had planned. Destiny made her entry into the industry with offers flooding her after being crowned in Sun City. Aishwarya has won huge appreciation and recognition and has now become the undisputed monarch of the tinsel territory.

Shankar, Director of the Tamil movie ‘Endhiran’ has confirmed that the movie is almost complete. It’s a sci-fi Tamil movie. The movie stars Aishwarya and Rajnikant. In his personal blog www.directorshankaronline.com Mr. Shankar has wrote that, “I have just finished the action sequences of the film ‘Endhiran’ in Pune and Lonawala. Both the leading artists of the film were present during the shooting”. The budget of the movie ‘Endhiran’ is more than Rs. 125 crores. It is set to be released in the month of June this year.

Aishwarya is looking forward for this movie. Its success will help her journey in Bollywood after the marriage. There are very strong possibilities of huge success of the movie ‘Endhiran’. It will make the year 2010 quite successful for Aishwarya.

‘Raavan’ with Abhishek and ‘Guzaarish’ with Hrithik will be other mega releases featuring Aishwarya this year. Both of them are expected to be blockbusters.

2010 is going to be an important year in the Bollywood career of Aishwarya. Several releases are there in this New Year. So, it may turn out to be the most successful year for the beauty queen. Now her fans are eagerly waiting for a major flick from her. Raavan may prove to be a terrific player in this case.

But on the contrary 2010 may mark the end of Aishwarya. If she fails to get back to the top soon then the game may be over for her. Superstars like Priyanka, Kareena and Katrina are quite well prepared to topple Aishwarya completely as soon as possible. They will be having some big releases in this New Year. So to cope up with them Aish needs some terrific releases as soon as possible. She can’t beat them now with rumours and press releases only. Moreover ads can keep her alive, but can’t help her to get to the top.

Finally the confirmed news! Aishwarya is all set to use her magnetic power to attract success in life for ABCL now onwards. ABCL or Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited has learnt well from its past mistakes and now quite ready to rock the market with some calculated yet strong steps. Among these initiatives included the extended role to be played by the daughter-in-law Aishwarya. Of late she has been seen visiting and meeting various directors in the likes of Sanjay Gadhvi, Ashutosh Gowariker, R Balki, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Anurag Kashyap. As per the reports she is trying to procure some good directors to work for the ABCL.

Though she is not holding any official position as yet but unofficially she is taking control of the main marketing part of the business entity. The upcoming movie ‘Paa’ will prove to be a strong parameter of Aishwarya’s mettle in the field of business as she has gone all out to make it a mega family success saga.

Earlier their was the news that Bollywood superstar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is ready to work with Shah Rukh Khan but the same doors are still not open for some actors.

It is not hard to figure it out which these stars are, in fact, they are Ash’s ex-boyfriends Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi.

According to the sources, Aishwarya has given a clear cut nod for working with Vivek Oberoi in Tansen, a Satish Kaushik direction, but Satish Kaushik denies any such report.
On this Kaushik said, “I’ve been getting so many calls from people asking me whether I have cast Vivek Oberoi in Tansen along with Abhishek and Aishwarya and the answer is no such thing has happened.”

Further he added by saying that, “I’ve not approached Vivek, Salman Khan or even Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the film. I had only mentioned Abhishek’s name saying he is someone who can play the role well as he also has a certain star status and fan following.”

As of now, even Abhishek is not confirmed.

Since the time Mani Ratnam’s new film ‘Ravan’ went into production , speculations are being made that Abhishek Bachchan is playing the titular ‘Ravan’ and Bachchan’s better half, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is playing the character of ‘Sita’. However, Aishwarya Rai has recently refused the rumors.

Abhishek Bachchan has said in many interviews, that he is playing Ravan. Aishwarya’s comment is being seen as an attempt to avoid any religious controversies.

Aishwarya Rai made this comment, when she was addressing the media a press conference in the city of Kolkata. The press conference was being held for the launch of her latest Hollywood film, Pink Panther 2.

Despite Aishwarya Rai denying the fact again and again, rumors abound that she is actually learning classical singing to prepare for her role as a classical singer ‘Sita’ in the film ‘Raavan’.

The truth will come out once the film releases.
