Aishwarya Rai has her hands full with great movies to come. In this post we will tell you about Aishwarya Rai’s upcoming movies and why all her projects are so great. Apart from the list below remember that Aishwarya Rai will also appear in Ben Kingsley’s ‘Taj‘ in this movie Aishwarya plays the role of Mumtaz Mahal the great Mughal queen whose husband Shah Jahan made the Taj Mahal in her memory. You think this is going to be an exciting movie well have a look below and you will find out that she has more interesting movies to come. If atleast two of these movies go well on box office, then it is certain that 2010 will be Aishwarya Rai’s year and she could even beat her male colleagues in terms of box office value

Raavan
Aishwarya Rai joins Mani Ratnaam once again for the Tamil language film Raavana which is simultaneously being made in Hindi as well. The Hindi version has a slightly different cast. As I wrote in my previously post that if any one wants to cast someone from the Bachchan family they must cast atleast two of them. For example Abhishek Bachchan is doing Paa with his father Amitabh Bachchan. In Raavan you will see Aishwarya Rai Bachchan with Abhishek Bachchan. The music of Raavan is composed by academy award winning composer A. R. Rahman.

Action Replay
Action Replay is time travel movie set in 1950s. Directed by Vipul Shah, Action Replay’s cast includes Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai and Randhir Kapoor father of Karishma and Kareena Kapoor. There is a slight confusion about the movie’s plot as Warner Bros, issued a warning in the Indian Newspapers to claim that no one has rights to remake ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ in Hindi Language. Rumors are that the warning was targeted to Vipul Shah who when contacted said that his film is not based on the Curious Case of Benjamin Button and that it is actually based on a Marathi play. Whatever the case maybe, one thing is certain that Action Replay has an interesting concept.

Endhiran
Rajinikanth and Aishwarya Rai work together in the science fiction Tamily Language film Endhiran. It is said that the movie has the highest ever film budget in the history of Indian cinema. The film’s story is based on a Robot who falls in love with a woman. Set to be released in 2010, Endhiran will be Aishwarya Rai’s second Tamily movie in 2010.

Guzaarish
After the disastrous failure of Saawariya, director Sanjay Leela Bhansali once again signs Aishwarya Rai for his upcoming movie Guzarish. The cast of Guzarish includes Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan, music is composed by A. R. Rahman. There are Rumors that Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan will sing a song in their own voices for the movie. The story of Guzaarish will revolve around a married nurse (Aishwarya Rai) who looks after a papaplegic patient (Hrithik Roshan).

Aishwarya Rai is going to play Sita (The Indian Goddess) in Mani Ratnam’s upcoming movie Ravana. Guess who is going to play Ram? No its not, Abhishek Bachchan. According to people on locations for the film, Aishwarya looked heavenly beautiful in a gorgeous Sari. It is reported that Aishwarya’s Sita makeover is designed by Sabyasachi Mukherjee.

This is great year of Sabyasachi Mukherjee. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is not the only one in the Bollywood who has ditched designers and went on with Sabyasachi’s creations. A. R. Rahman also ditched Rohit Bal and wore a Sabyasachi Sherwani during his live performance at the Oscars. Rahman’s wife Saira, also wore a Sabyasachi creation for the big night.

Hrithik Roshan chartered a special flight to Goa for his wife Sussane and two sons, Hrehaan and Hridaan to attend sister in-law Farah Ali Khan and her husband DJ Aqeel’s wedding anniversary. Farah Ali Khan who was disappointed that may be Hrithik and Sussane won’t be able to attend her anniversary, was delighted to hear the news of couple’s arrival. She said:

Hrithik is a Capricorn like me, and we are the kind of people who always keep our promises. So last minute when he said he couldn’t make it because of a shoot, I was very disappointed and let him know through an SMS. The next thing I know, at around 9.30pm after the ceremony, he lands up at the celebration. I was really happy, as then my entire family was there as were my pals

Indian music maestro ustaad A. R. Rehman has won BAFTA award for the music of Slumdog Millionaire. Believe it or not I still haven’t seen the movie. But I have no doubt that A. R. Rehman’s music would be definitely outstanding. The man has proved himself a genius many times before. He is nominated for Oscar too and Allah Rakha Rehman is the only Indian with three Oscar nominations. Over all the movie Slumdog Millionaire has earned 10 Oscar nominations. Rediff.com talked to A. R. Rahman on his three nominations. People Magazine also had A. R. Rahman on their cover with the title Making of A Genius. Rediff.com has republished the feature on their website you can read it here.
