|| Raavan(an) | Mani Ratnam | Vikram | Abhishek Bachchan ||

Ashwariya Rai’s commitment to Robot came in for some heavy discussion yesterday. Nearly all sections of the media had recently carried reports of Ash being offered the female lead role in Robot for an astounding sum, making her the top paid actress in the entire country. But only yesterday reports were floating around of Ash pulling out of the

Aishwarya Rai
movie, citing her pregnancy as a reason. Robot, a 24 month project, was too long a time for her to be away from home, seemed to be the implication.

Dispelling these reports strongly, Ash today said that she is committed to Robot; that she admires Shankar for always being a step ahead of any other filmmaker when it came to making cutting edge techno savvy movies. Excited about working with Rajinikanth, she had nothing but praise for him. Rajini is an institution personified, she added, and she would never miss out on an opportunity to work with him.

And here’s further proof of Ash’s commitment to the film industry: The actress, along with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, will star in one more Mani Ratnam film. And no! This is not a Tamil film but Hindi.

'குரு' படத்திற்குப் பிறகு மணிரத்னம் அமீர்கான் நடிப்பில் 'லஜ்ஜோ' படத்தை இயக்குவதாக இருந்தது. பாலைவனத்தில் நட்க்கும் காதல் கதை இது.

சில காரணங்களால் 'லஜ்ஜோ' படத்தை கைவிட்டார் மணிரத்னம். இதனைத் தொடர்ந்து, மணிரத்னத்தின் புதிய படத்தில் பிருத்விராஜ் நடிக்கிறார் என செய்தி பரவியது. இதையும் பொய்யாக்கியிருக்கிறார் மணிரத்னம்.



இவரது அடுத்த படம் விரைவில் தொடங்க இருக்கிறது. 'குரு' படத்தைத் தொடர்ந்து இதையும் இந்தியாவிலேயே இயக்குகிறார். 'குரு'வைப் போலவே இதுவும் இந்தியில் வெளியாகும் அதே நாளில் தமிழிலும் வெளியிடப்படும்.



ஐஸ்வர்யா ராய் அபிஷேக் பச்சன் ஆகிய இருவரும் புதிய படத்தில் நடிக்கின்றனர். ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மான் இசையமைக்கிறார்.




'குரு' படத்தின் கூட்டணி மீண்டும் ஒன்று சேர்ந்துள்ளதால் படத்துக்கு இப்போதே எதிர்பார்ப்பு ஏற்பட்டுள்ளது.



இந்தத் தகவலை தனியார் தொலைக்காட்சி ஒன்றுக்கு அளித்தப் பேட்டியில் ஐஸ்வர்யா ராய் தெரிவித்தார்.

Abhishek, Aishwarya to star in Mani Ratnam's next

IndiaFM

It had to happen. After Guru, the movie-making maverick, Mani Ratnam, was bound to return to his favourite actor. It comes as no surprise to know Abhishek Bachchan and Mani Ratnam will team up again for their third film together.

Red Hot: Hrithik, Ash create magic in Jodhaa Akbar

After the terrific tuning that they shared during Yuva (which Abhishek describes as his career's first turning-point) and Guru (which he acknowledges as his second turning-point), it doesn't require much calculation to see the creative and commercial viability of the Mani-Abhishek pair.


Films that redefined love

Coming out of his bereavement, Mani Ratnam is all set to announce a supple romantic film featuring filmdom's foremost marital pair. Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will come together in Mani Ratnam's film that starts shooting in September.


First look: Bollywood couples we absolutely love

According to a source very close to the project, "It's going to be a very intense love story. Where Guru was more a bio-pic with a cavalcade of characters claiming screen space, this film will focus primarily on the romance. It's a very intense film. Mani's most romantic film to date. And yes, it's again based on real life characters."

http://entertainment.in.msn.com/boll...mentid=1269487

Tamil star Vikram is in luck. He's cast opposite Aishwarya Rai in Mani Ratnam's next. (No, Abhishek will not be romancing Ash, he'll have other work to do)


Vikram is betaab

Tamil superstar Vikram (of Aparichit fame) is all set to make his Bollywood debut with Mani Ratnam's next, starring Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan.

Vikram, one of the biggest stars in the Tamil film industry hit big time with his film Sethu which was re-made in Hindi as Tere Naam.

He has several Tamil hits to his credit - Dhill, Gemini, Pithamagan, Dhool, Saamy and Anniyan which was dubbed in Hindi and renamed Aparichit.

Our source in the industry says, "Vikram always wanted to work with Mani Sir and they had discussed the possibility of working together on many occasions, but their plans never materialised.

After Guru, Mani Sir is now working on a contemporary intense drama which also has romance as its integral part.

He thought it would be a good idea to cast Vikram opposite Aishwarya Rai and called Vikram for a narration. Mani Sir signed him on a few days ago."

The source further says, "Vikram is excited about working in a Hindi film, that too with Aishwarya Rai. He understands that this is the best Bollywood launch for him."

The film goes on the floors in September.
