Hrithik and Aishwarya not going to Cannes!

Since last four years Aishwarya Rai has been a regular Indian face at Cannes Film Festival. This year might be an exception.

The 60th Cannes Film Festival in France is set to start on May 16 and many Indian celebrities are packing their bags to attend the mega event where a number of Indian movies (both released and forthcoming) will be showcased.

Production house UTV will be showcasing its films and among them is Jodha Akbar , starring Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan . Earlier, the film’s two stars and director Ashutosh Gowarikar were slated to go to Cannes for the film’s promotion.

In fact, the Bachchans ( Amitabh Bachchan , Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya) were supposed to hog the attention at Cannes this year. The three family members were expected to walk the red carpet together.

But now, there seems to be a change in the plan.

Since the monsoon season is around the corner, Ashutosh Gowarikar wants to complete the shooting of ‘Jodha Akbar’ before heavy rains destroy the movie’s expensive sets in Nitin Desai’s studio in Karjat (on the outskirts of Mumbai).

And going to Cannes Film Festival means a delay of at least 4-5 days.

‘Jodha Akbar’ is already behind its schedule because of Aishwarya’s marriage to Abhishek in April.

Now, Ashutosh wants no more delays and wants to shoot some important sequences in the coming days.

Reports say Gowarikar has asked Ash and Hrithik to skip the promotional event of the movie at Cannes and rather shoot the film in Karjat before the onset of monsoon.

So it looks that Ash, Hrithik and Gowarikar will be shooting in Karjat while Amitabh Bachchan and other celebs will enjoy the Cannes Fest.

And what about Abhishek? It is still not clear whether he will be going or staying back home with his beautiful wife.
