Aishwarya Rai is being sought by a leading Bollywood director for his next movie. But the question is ‘Does she have time to commit to a new project?’
Even though Ketan Mehta ’s much-talked-about film The Rising is in the last stages of completion, the director is raring to start his next project
His ‘The Rising’ will be the first movie of the trilogy series to be followed by films on Jhansi Ki Rani and Bahadur Shah Zafar.
As reported, Mehta has already approached Ash to play the title role in Jhansi Ki Rani. The actress has heard her role and even expressed her interest in doing the film.
But the only problem is that she is so busy that she may not be able to commit to Mehta’s project.
Mehta’s ‘The Rising’ however, will hit the marquee in the first quarter of 2005.
