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.

"They go home, the little one and Bahurani... and the tears flow out... the little one embraces and tells me not to cry... 'You’ll be home soon', she assures... I must believe her," he said.

On Monday, Abhishek had said that he and his father were still under the care of medical staff at the Nanavati Hospital's isolation ward.

"My father and I remain in hospital under the care of the medical staff. Thank you all for your continued prayers and good wishes. Indebted forever," the 44-year-old actor tweeted.

Both Amitabh and Abhishek have been sharing their health updates with fans on various social media platforms.

Last week, Amitabh had dismissed reports that he had finally tested negative for coronavirus, calling the piece of news "an incorrigible lie".
