Aishwarya Rai is all set to be the heroine of the next project of ace Southern director Mani Ratnam of Dil Se, Bombay, and Guru fame. For this, she is being paired with Tamil super star Vikram.
Though the project will see Aiswarya re-uniting with hubby Abhishekh Bachchan after GURU in a Mani Ratnam flick, Abhishekh will not play her love interest. Abhishekh is two movies old with Ratnam – of Yuva, and guru. Aiswariya is also two films old with him- Iruvar and Guru.
Vikram is new to Hindi audiences except for last year’s dubbed version of Tamil hit Anniyan by the name of Aparichit. Vikram has several Tamil hits to his credit – Dhill, Gemini, Pithamagan, Dhool, Saamy and Anniyan
Vikram’s another Tamil hit ‘Sethu’ was remade in Hindi as the Salman Khan starrer Tere Naam . However, Vikram hasn’t acted in a Hindi film yet.
According to sources, Vikram has already agreed to dates for the movie. It begins shooting in September this year. He expressed his happiness to work with both Mani Ratnam and Aishwarya Rai. He considered this as an ideal launch into Bollywood.
The movie is being described as an intense love story set in contemporary times. But given the fact that Mani Ratnam is directing, the movie is expected to have some socio-political undercurrents as his past Hindi movies have had.
Ash and Abhi are also starring together in one other movie coming up- namely Sarkar Raj by Ram Gopal Verma. Industry is waiting to see how the couple can ignite the screen with some of their real life chemistry.
