Aishwarya Rai wants to work with Rajani Kanth. The much sought after Aishwarya Rai, who has been turning down movies for more than just lack of time, says she refused Karan Johar’s comedy Dostana because the quirky situations mentioned in the script wouldn’t have worked. Karan wanted to cast her with Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham. He has now roped in Priyanka Chopra for the female lead.When asked why she accepted superstar Rajnikanth starrer Robot, Aishwarya said: “I want to work with Rajni sir, yaar.
He is phenomenal. Everyone speaks of this experience. I’ll actually go through the experience. It’s very important for me to come away with something from my films since I give so much.” The film is directed by Shankar, who gave Aishwarya her first break in Jeans.
Excerpts from an interview:
First things first. Did you turn down Karan Johar’s Dostana?
Yes, I opted out of Dostana because the inter-personal relationships among the three of us made me uncomfortable. Now that Abhishek and I are married, the kind of quirky situations shown in Dostana, albeit in a comic vein, wouldn’t have worked.”
