Aishwarya Rai Unofficial

After wrapping up the shooting of his forthcoming venture Kites, Hrithik Roshan will begin shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s yet untitled next with Aishwarya Rai in coming 2009 summer. Hrithik we have learnt is super excited to do this not just because he will complete his hat-trick of working with Aish but because he has been genuinely floored by the script of the film and is eagerly looking forward to shooting for the film.

Hrithik simply can’t stop raving about Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the script that he written for his film and of course his role in it. This will be Hrithik’s first venture with the Black director. Hrithik has seen Bhansali’s earlier works and is keen to work with him. Bhansali is also looking forward to work with Hrithik as well. It is going to be a hat-trick for Bhansali as well as this will be his third venture with Aishwarya Rai after Devdas.

Bhansali was in Goa recently finalizing locales for the film. The film will be Bhansali’s directorial venture after Saawariya. Meanwhile Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next prodcution venture Chenab Gandhi is all set to go on floors in Mumbai very soon. Bhansali’s assistant Vibhu Puri will direct the film starring Amitabh Bachchan, Vidya Balan and Hurman S. Baweja.

Bhansali and his Black writer Bhavani Iyer have written the film. The plot revolves around three characters. It is learnt that Chenab Gandhi is inspired by the story of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan, India’s freedom fighter who was known as the Frontier Gandhi. Bachchan will be playing the principle character in the film.

Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming project will surely be a treat for the international markets, literally. The film is being made in English and stars Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Sanjay Bhansali, even after the flop of his last flick ‘Saawariya’, is in his high spirits with his film-in-the-making. Bhansali said, ‘I am directing another film with Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. I am very excited about this project and so is my team.’

When asked about making his film in English, Bhansali said, ‘I know it is important to make films for our market but it’s the time when our cinema should reach the remotest corner of the world. Languange is hardly any barrier today and it is not the first time that I am making a film in English. ‘Black’ was in English too.’

The director has done amazingly well with Aishwarya in his last two films ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and ‘Devdas’. Let’s see, whether the team will be able to make a hattrick!
