Pregnant Aishwarya Rai will continue shooting for 'Heroine'

The whole film industry has been cheered up by the news of Aishwarya Rai’s pregnancy. It was thought that director Madhur Bhandarkar may not be too thrilled by the news because Aishwarya is shooting for his film Heroine. However, that is not the case.

Madhur, we hear, is equally happy for Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan.

Moreover, he can take heart from the fact that Aishwarya won’t stop shooting for his film ‘Heroine’ which is already on the floors. Just last month, Aishwarya, Madhur and Ronie Screwvala had announced ‘Heroine’ at Cannes, following which the movie’s shoot began in Mumbai.

Even Ash’s baby bump won’t disrupt the film’s continuity because Aishwarya’s role requires her to gain weight.

It appears that everything came together just at the right time for Aishwarya.

In ‘Heroine’ Aishwarya Rai plays a once successful film actress Mahi Khanna whose career is on the decline. The movie aims to reveal the underbelly of the movie industry and its well-kept secrets.

We hear that Bhandarkar plans to wrap up the film’s shoot in 45 days after which Aishwarya Rai will have a lot of time to rest and go on a maternity leave from Bollywood.

In fact, Ash’s pregnancy may turn out to be a blessing in disguise for ‘Heroine’ because a lot of fans might throng to theatres just to see the movie that Aishwarya shot during her pregnancy.
