It's payback time for Aishwarya Rai

Mumbai: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's business manager of 12 years - Hari Singh - is making a movie revolving around the story of a war widow and After Hrs has learnt that Ash is helping him out by doing a special cameo in the movie without charging a single penny. It's Ash's way of giving back to Hari Singh who has been by her side as she grew from a beauty queen to one of the most recognised Bollywood stars in the world.

The yet untitled movie is set to be directed by Jagmohan Mundhra who earlier directed Ash in Provoked. In Hari Singh's film, Ash is supposed to play the character of a lawyer who makes an appearance at the end of the movie - a courtroom climax - to make a case for the war widow.

Says Jagmohan, "Hari Singh approached me to direct a film that tells the emotional and heartrending tale of a war widow, and I have agreed to do it. Ash has a special appearance in the film and it will certainly be the USP of the movie. It can't be called a cameo as it is an extremely crucial character that gets all the attention in the courtroom drama. We are expected to shoot next year as soon as the rest of the cast is finalised. I'm thrilled to team up with Ash again." Hari's daughter Bhumicka Singh is expected to play the lead in the movie.

Aishwarya Rai has no time for reality shows

We can’t recall another married actress who had so much work on hand as Aishwarya Rai has. Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi and all the other reigning divas of their time fizzled out of the limelight after taking their nuptial vows. Only Ash remains as firm as ever, getting as much, if not more, work than when she was single. Her busy schedule is the reason why she turned down the offer to judge a reality show on small screen, according to Ash’s publicist who issued a statement to rubbish the reports that the actress demanded an astronomical fee to judge 'Dance Premier League' on Sony TV. “Various proposals (of judging reality shows) have come along but her schedules thus far have not allowed her to even consider the same,” a statement issued by her publicist said. Ash is hard pressed for time particularly because the shoot of Mani Ratnam’s film Raavan has stretched beyond her expectations. She still has to shoot a few songs for Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s Action Replay with Akshay Kumar. She’s presently immersed in the shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Guzaarish with Hrithik Roshan. Down south, she is committed to Endhiran (Robot) with Rajnikant. Would you like to see Ash judging a reality show? Leave your comments below!
