Aishwarya Rai said 'Yes!' to 'Jodhaa Akbar' in an instant

The gorgeous Aishwarya Rai Bachchan says given the character, the script and the subject, it is an actor's dream to be part of a project like Jodhaa Akbar .

Ash says that her decision was an instant 'Yes!' to act opposite Hrithik Roshan in the Ashutosh Gowarikar – directed film.

Asked by a news agency how it was working with Hrithik on two movies – Dhoom 2 and ‘Jodhaa Akbar’ – back-to-back, Ash said: "I was very lucky to get to work with Hrithik in two movies. They were so diverse in genre, energy and personality.”

"At one end is ‘Dhoom 2’, which was so contemporary – joyous, fast and bold and today and fun! It was just wild energy. At the other end, we immediately delved into the subject with ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, which is so detailed, so researched and yet so pure, so spontaneous and innocent."

Ash and Hrithik shared good screen chemistry in ‘Dhoom 2’. And in ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, the vibes were just as good.

"Hrithik and I became friends on the sets of Dhoom because we were all part of a team working in the movie. Hrithik and (my husband) Abhishek grew up together. They were childhood friends and I instantly became a part of the team.

"The energy that we share, the comfort level that we share; I think that is what translates into chemistry on screen."

Talking about her swashbuckling, sword-fighting scene, Ash said she had not undergone any formal training.

"The Hollywood film The Last Legion was my first experience of sword-fighting and I took to it instantly. But even here, there was no time for any kind of formal training. We did it right there on the sets."
