This year Aishwarya Rai has four films lined up for release -- two southern projects “Ravana” and “Endhiran” as well as “Action Replay” and “Guzaarish”, collectively costing over Rs. 300 crore.
While her bilingual sci-fi film “Endhiran”, starring Rajnikanth, is said to be made at a budget of Rs.125 crore, approximately Rs. 45 crore has been spent on Mani Ratnam’s much-awaited “Ravana”, which is set for a June release.
Vipul Shah’s “Action Replay” costs around Rs.60 crore and if reports are to be believed, UTV is shelling out close to Rs.80 crore for Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed “Guzaarish” for which Aishwarya is currently shooting along with Hrithik Roshan in Mumbai.
Aishwarya has been busy shooting all these films for the past one year and even suffered health problems due to her hectic schedules.
According to a well-placed source from the team of “Ravana”, the Hindi version of which also features Abhishek Bachchan, the actress has given some of the most difficult shots in the movie without complaining about geographical or weather conditions used to can the scenes.
“Aishwarya’s role in ‘Ravana’ is the toughest. Vikram plays Ram in the Hindi version, and Ravana in Tamil. And Aishwarya plays Sita in both the Hindi and Tamil versions. Both the versions were simultaneously shot. Mani Ratnam canned the film in the most difficult and dangerous places. Still Aishwarya gave the same shots twice for the two versions - be it in the rain, on mountains, jungle, etc,” a source told IANS.
