Mumbai, August 13: It seems Bollywood lass Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has finally found her groove as the doe-eyed beauty is looking forward to work with her dream team Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Hrithik Roshan in ‘Guzaarish.’
Talking to a news daily, when the actress was enquired about her upcoming project ‘Guzaarish’ by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Aishwarya confirmed the news and spoke at length about her film and her director friend as, “We’ve evolved together, grown as individuals and artistes, we’re both similar — totally driven and passionate, the passion is mutually addictive, we don’t meet for months, but every time we meet — we pick up the threads effortlessly.”
However, Aishwarya maintained that her forthcoming movie will be different from her earlier Bhansali-directed flicks as, “This time we aren’t going into the glamour zone. Sanjay was so excited when he found the right script for us to work together in. ‘This is it,’ he said. For the first time I didn’t even read the script before I said yes. It’s a very real, very intense drama.
I respect filmmakers like Sanjay, Mani Ratnam and Shankar who make the films they do because they have to. The family that I’ve married into, this belief and faith in the work we do is predominant. Ma or Pa only go into projects with complete conviction. I follow that faith.”
Well, apart from Sanjay, there is another reason for Aishwarya to cheer as the actress is really excited to work with Hrithik. Mention Hrithik and Aishwarya is all praise for the handsome actor as, “We did an ad-film together before working in ‘Dhoom 2’ and ‘Jodhaa-Akbar.’ Hrithik, Sanjay and I are like-minded people — very focussed and passionate about our work.
The two films Hrithik and I did were poles apart and now Sanjay’s film takes us into a totally different territory. Like I said, there’s no glam zone in this one. I go completely by my convictions.
I chose to do ‘Dhoom 2’ after ten years in the industry and not at the start of my career. I was just cracking a genre. And then I moved on. On the other hand, I was content being totally deglam in ‘Guru.’ If I get loved by my audience for it, then nothing like it,” she said.
