Aishwarya Rai has bail out plan for Vipul Shah br/

Mumbai, (BollywoodWorld.com) Neither Aishwarya nor Akshay Kumar have any dates to spare to shoot a song for Vipul Shah’s “Action Replayy”. The filmmaker agrees that his stars have a genuine problem, but he is not ready to release the movie without that number.

To bail Shah out, Aishwarya has suggested that he should fly down with his unit to London. She would fly from Cannes to London and shoot the song with Akshay in night shifts when the actor wouldn’t be shooting for “Patiala House”.

“It is very, very generous and considerate of Aishwarya to suggest that she’d join me from Cannes, that I come to London and shoot the song with her and Akshay. She is really working very hard. Both Akshay and she have a genuine date problem,” Shah told IANS.

Akshay is in London for 90 days to shoot for Nikhil Advani’s “Patiala House”.

But Shah is still in two minds about whether to take up his leading lady’s kind offer.

“I need four days to shoot my song. I don’t know if I can impose on director Nikhil Advani’s time and money like this. Let’s see. In any case, I’ve now postponed the release of ‘Action Replayy’ from July to September.”

Since the other big Aishwarya starrer “Raavan” releases in June, Shah thought it wise to re-position his film on a later date.

Now I’m confident about doing more Tamil movies – Aishwarya Rai br/

Mumbai, Aishwarya Rai started her film career with Mani Ratnam’s Tamil film “Iruvar” in 1997, but says she feels “confident” about doing more Tamil films only now after the multilingual “Raavan” with the National Award winning director.

“I understand a bit of Tamil and speak a bit of it. For me, it is very important that I understand the meaning of my dialogues before I deliver them. I can’t just mug up the dialogues. So for ‘Raavan’, I made sure I knew what I was saying and yes, I have improved a lot on the language and I am confident about doing more Tamil stuff in future,” Aishwarya said.

“After ‘Raavan’, it was like – ‘Come on! Bring on ‘Robot’ (now ‘Endhiran’),” she told reporters at the music launch of “Raavan” here Saturday.

“Raavan” is Ratnam’s much-awaited project and also stars Abhishek Bachchan, southern superstar Vikram and Bhojpuri star Ravi Kishan. The movie has been simultaneously shot in Hindi and Tamil, with a slightly different cast.

Aishwarya plays Ragini, a classical dance teacher. The first look into the movie shows her dancing gracefully in a song where she has been picturised getting cosy with Vikram, who plays her husband in the Hindi version of the film.

One mention of how beautiful the dance moves looked, and Aishwarya said: “Aww…Thank you so much.”

Talking about her role, she said: “This was an extremely challenging role for me. To shoot it in Hindi and Tamil at the same time was quite a task. But the experience was so wonderful that if Mani sir asks me, I am ready to do it all over again.”

According to the 36-year-old, her role was a discovery and a mystery.

“Ragini is a strong woman and very relatable to the modern Indian woman. She speaks her mind. I say discovery because we kept discovering fantastic locations and got to see so many places. We used to trek every morning to be on the sets…

“The role remained a mystery because I was playing the leading lady and there I was with no make-up, no fancy clothes and all drenched in rain with mud all over. But that’s what Mani sir expects from us to keep it all as real as it can get,” she said.

Aishwarya says they used to give shots with “snakes a whisper away” and that they “must have donated blood to 300 leeches”.

“All in all, it was an incredibly original experience. It was almost like being on a ‘Fear Factor’ show,” she added.

The movie, co-produced by Reliance BIG Pictures and Madras Talkies, is expected to release June 18.
