Though Bride and Prejudice is slated to release in October, Gurinder Chaddha has announced that the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai may act in her next film.

The internationally acclaimed filmmaker is currently in India in connection with the song recordings for 'Bride and Prejudice', her film based on Jane Austen's novel 'Pride and Prejudice'. The film stars British actor Martin Henderson alongside Aishwarya.

Asked whether Aishwarya would be there in her next film as well, Chaddha, who won worldwide renown for 'Bend It Like Beckham', told reporters in Mumbai recently that she was working on many scripts and had not planned anything yet, but if a character emerged that was suitable for the actress, they could end up working together again.

Speaking about her current venture, the director said the film, set against the backdrop of a Punjabi wedding, was to be released, jointly in UK and India, on October 8.

Talking about her future plans, she said she had been approached by Hollywood to direct three films.

''But I prefer to work on my own story,'' she added.

Chaddha stated that she would continue to make crossover films as she felt that in the changing scenario, where Indian films were being widely appreciated globally, it was the duty of filmmakers to promote Hindi films.
