Aishwarya Rai Bachchan News

Yesterday, I told you rumors were flying that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was going to be in Sir Ben Kingsley’s upcoming movie about the building of the Taj Mahal.

Since then, I have scoured all the sites and all of them are now reporting it as a fact, a done deal. Apparently, Ash will in fact star as the favorite wife of Shah Jahan, the Mughul Emperor.

The film has caused a big buzz in film circles for a number of reasons, but largely for the cast. Sir Ben Kingsley, winner of four Academy awards for his role in Ghandi is to play Shah Jahan. His favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal will be played by the very beautiful Aishwarya and his daughter, Jahanara will be played by former model and Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu.

In all, a star studded cast, with the very talented Sir Ben directing, with at least two beautiful ladies acting… What else can we ask for? This is a movie I am just going to have to see.
