Bollywood actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, walked the red carpet at the Cannes Premiere of ‘Two Days, One Night’ on May 20, making eyes ogle in a golden Robert Cavalli gown. Aishwarya looked at the top of her game as she posed in style for the photos. The actress was oozing oomph in the fishtail gown which accentuated her curves.
The actress, who is currently in Cannes along with her daughter Aaradhya and mother Brinda Rai, missed her original date on the red carpet due to the air traffic control strike in France.
Abhishek Bachchan, who is currently busy with the first Pro Kabaddi League, is all set to join his wife and daughter in the French Riviera, tweeted, ‘Almost 52hrs without sleep! Eyes shutting… and the Mrs. Shows up looking like this!! Ok.. Eyes wide open. now!
Now that little Aaradhya has started going to play school, her star mom Aishwarya is all set to make her grand comeback with director Sanjay Gupta’s Jazbaa, her first full-fledged action film, reports Hindustan Times.
For a while it seemed Aishwarya’s first director Mani Ratnam would be helming her comeback film. But that project has been put on hold. Talk of Aishwarya being in a film directed by ad-man Prahlad Kakkad also proved to be just talk.
To be produced by Gupta, Jazbaa will mark her return to the silver screen after her daughter’s birth in November 2011. The film will start rolling early next year. Confirming these developments, Gupta said, ‘We start Jazbaa in January 2015. We’ll be showcasing Jazbaa at the Cannes film festival in 2015.’
The filmmaker clarified that it’s not a woman-centric drama. ‘Just because Aishwarya is in Jazbaa, we should not label the film female-centric. To me, she’s the hero of the film,’ he said.
Ash had done some action scenes in Dhoom 2, but she didn’t have the kind of stunts that Hrithik Roshan had. In Gupta’s film, she will do all the stunts without the help of a body-double. She has already started training for the role.
‘There is no gender-specificity in what she does in the narrative. I’ve cast her in a role like any of the heroes in my films. She could be John Abraham in Shootout At Wadala or Sanjay Dutt in Zinda. It’s that kind of a role where her gender plays no role in the proceedings.’
Two prominent male actors are yet to be cast alongside Aishwarya. Interestingly, Gupta is also working with Aishwarya’s husband and actor Abhishek Bachchan in Khottey Sikkay, which he will make immediately after Jazbaa.
