After months of speculation, the mesmerizing beauty and Bollywood
star Aishwarya has finally said yes to act with Hollywood actor in
an international project. Previously Aish was indecisive about her
dates because of her power packed schedule even though she actually
wanted to work with the big star.
Aishwarya was originally scheduled to be Smith’s co-star in last
year’s comedy “Hitch” but the deal had fell because of Aish’s
unavailability with dates.
This time Will Smith on his trip to India in February made sure to
make matters possible with the actress. At the end of an hour-long
meeting between them which ‘hit off instantly’, Smith’s business
manager James Lassiter had offered Aishwarya a lead role opposite
him in a film to be produced later this year.
The project with Smith will be Aishwarya’s next international
project after Jagmohan Mundra’s ready-for-release ‘Provoked’ and
Doug Lefler’s ‘The Lost Legion’.
An eyewitness version to Smith-Aish meeting: “To say they hit it
off instantly is an understatement. It was clear from the start of
their meeting that Ash and Will were going to be buddies. The sound
of their combined laughter could be heard all the way to the ground
floor. After a point it stopped looking like two internationally
known actors and colleagues were meeting up. They were like two
buddies cracking up at their jokes.”
“When Will’s business manager offered Ash a role she was all for
it, more so when she heard the storyline. Ash really likes the
sound of the project. Aishwarya also gifted a beautiful sari to
Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett who couldn’t accompany Smith to India
because she was playing with her music band in the US. It was a
lovely gesture and Will seemed so touched,” said the
eyewitness.
