Aishwarya Rai Bachchan won’t make a comeback

August 18, 2013

Aishwarya_RaiAug 18: There were rumors that Aishwarya was approached by Sanjay Leela Bhansali for doing a special song in his upcoming movie ‘Ram Leela’. But now it seems that Bhansali is not keen on taking Aishwarya and has roped in somebody else for the dance number.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali was asked about it. He said, “First it was Sonakshi Sinha, then Madhuri Dixit. Now it's Aishwarya. None of the three rumours has any truth to it.”

He did not divulge the details but said further, “All the rumours surrounding who has been approached for the special song are utterly ridiculous and nowhere close to true...We have already finalised a very big name and we will be shortly making an announcement of the same. Hope this puts rumours to rest.”

Aishwarya has worked with Bhansali in ‘Hum Dil DeChuke Sanam’, ‘Devdas’ and ‘Guzaarish’.

Aishwarya took a break from movies while she was on family’s way in 2010. She had put on lots of weight during her pregnancy. She then gradually reduced but is still continuing her sabbatical break.

A source close to Aishwarya said, “At the moment Aaradhya (Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan's daughter) is Ash's one and only priority. Yes, she is slowly looking at scripts again, and some very good ones. But you know what? She gets tempted, and then again she decides now is not the time. She doesn't want to miss out a single moment in Aaradhya's growing-up years.”

The source also revealed that Aishwarya Rai is showing interest in the remake of 1983 released movie ‘Masoom’. The movie will be directed by Bedabrata Pain and produced by Himesh Reshammiya. Aishwarya is showing interest as the makers of this movie are willing to adjust the schedule according to her convenience.

On being asked about Aishwarya’s item song for ‘Ram Leela’, the source said, “But an item song? No way.”

‘Ram Leela’ is a Hindi romantic movie, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The lead actors of the movie are Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. The movie is based on the epic love story of Romeo and Juliet. The love story was set during violent times. The movie will be released on 15th November.

Sanjay had problem finalizing the female lead cast of the movie. He wanted to cast Kareena Kapoor. But Kareena backed out citing monetary and date issues. Then, the movie was offered to Priyanka Chopra who also withdrew due to unknown reason. Finally Deepika was signed for the movie.

May 1: Rubbishing reports of hospitalisation, veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah on Thursday said he was "fine" and at home observing the nationwide lockdown.

Shah, 69, in a Facebook post, thanked people for their concern and reassured them about his health.

"I thank all those enquiring after my health and reassure them I am fine," he said.

"I'm at home and observing the lockdown. Please don't believe any rumours," he added.

"A Wednesday" actor's younger son Vivaan Shah also dismissed rumours about his father's health.

"He's alright. These are just rumours," Vivaan said.

Reports about Shah's health started surfacing on social media as the industry was coming to terms with the deaths of Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor.

Rishi Kapoor, aged 67, died on Thursday in a hospital here after a two year-long battle with lukaemia, while Irrfan, 54, passed away on Wednesday due to neuroendocrine tumour, a rare form of cancer.

Los Angeles, Mar 6: Filmmaker-writer Taika Waititi is set to direct two animated series based on Roald Dahl's "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" for Netflix.

Waititi, who won an Academy Award in February for his adapted screenplay, "Jojo Rabbit", will also serve as the writer and producer on the animated series.

According to Deadline, the first series will be based on the world of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", while the second will be an original take on the Oompa-Loompa characters from the book.

The Oompa-Loompas are little humans who were preyed upon in Loompaland before Wonka invited them to work at his chocolate factory. They are paid in cocoa beans and love practical jokes and singing songs.

Netflix said the animation series would "retain the quintessential spirit and tone of the original story while building out the world and characters far beyond the pages of the Dahl book for the very first time."

The series will follow in the footsteps of Gene Wilder's 1971 portrayal of Willy Wonka and Johnny Depp's 2005 interpretation.

Kolhapur, Feb 21: Voicing against Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), renowned lyrics and thinker Javed Akhtar has said that the act was an assault to secularism and integrity of India and with the ongoing protests, the nation had reached a threshold for an another struggle.

Speaking here on Thursday night at an event organised on the 5th death anniversary of CPI senior leader and progressive leader Com Govind Pansare, Mr Akhtar said the newly amended citizenship act was a plot to split the country.

Mr Javed said that communalism has a deep root in India and it spread after the formation of Hindu Mahasabha and Muslim League in British India. "Muslim league got Pakistan but Hindu Mahasabha is still unsatisfied," he alleged and added that BJP was now 'working as a branch of RSS' and trying to 'split the country' through NRC.
