Aishwarya Rai to work with Rituparno Ghosh once again

Posted: 11 Apr 2011 11:50 PM PDT



Aishwarya Rai has already worked with National Award- winning director Rituparno Ghosh in ' Chokher Bali' and ' Raincoat' and has been appreciated by critics for her performance in both the flicks. Once again, she will work under the direction of Ghosh, this time for the role of a bandit queen in the adapted film version of Devi Chaudhurani. Devi Chaudhurani is a novel by Bengali writer Bankim Chandra Chatterjee in 1884 and is regarded as one of the most popular novels of its times. In order to get a grip into her character, Ash has asked for the DVDs of Suchitra Sen' s film which is about how a typical affluent housewife turns into the leader of a pack of dacoits. Ghosh and Ash have sat together a couple of times to work on the storyline of the film and how it should be adapted in a modern context and now, as the script has been finalized and handed over to Ash, she is about to allot dates for the shooting. The film will in all probability be a Hindi-Bengali bilingual.

In her short career span, Kangana Ranaut has proved that she is a terrific combination of talent and beauty. The actress now moves a step further with her forthcoming ' Dum Maro Dum' where she plays the role of a cop which will be sans glamour and sexuality. Kangana is pretty excited about her role and said, "The beauty of our profession is in being different characters and if a character requires me to take a break from the usual run-of- the-mill sexy roles, then so be it." "And to be honest, not having to seduce men was fun," she added. "In fact, I felt like a hero." "I think it' s really interesting to not use your sexuality on- screen, and instead, let it simmer under your character' s mannerisms," she elaborated. The thriller whose title track picturized on Deepika Padukone is running hot these days, also stars Abhishek Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Bipasha Basu and Prateik Babbar and is shot in Goa. Abhishek Bachchan plays the role of a cop dedicated to his cause. Bipasha plays the role of a bindass Goan girl named Zoey. Aditya Pancholi plays a villain named Biscuit. The film releases in theaters on April 22.
