In Uttar Pradesh Bachan's laid the foundation stone and also organized a grand puja. Speaking to the people of Baranbaki Aishwarya Rai told that she was very happy regarding the love and affection shown towards her by the people of UP. She also added that Bachan's family will need a lot of co-operation from the people to complete this work and make it a grand success.

Aishwarya's art attack

This is news will definitely interest you. Its about a beauty queen Aishwarya Rai. Joining the hundreds and thousands of fans bedazzled by her ethereal beauty is fairly obscure artist Ratan Parimoo who is drawing attention for his series of Aishwarya Rai - inspired paintings. The series includes artworks inspired by key moments from her films and also one in which the artist has imagined Aishwarya as Da Vinci's muse Mona Lisa. “It was not a sudden approach. I thought about it 10 years ago. Actually it was an architect male wanting to draw Mona Lisa and then I wanted it to transform it into an Indian face,” says Parimoo. While he has lapping up the accolades from friends and acquaintances for now, the artist says fulfillment will come only when his muse responds to his work. “Well I wanted that when I reach a stage of perfection then I would convey it to her. And yes, I really wish if she could see it,” he says. So until he's able to reach out to Aishwarya and show her his work, he'll be painting away trying to create the perfect piece. Let's hope Amitabh Bachan and Abishek does not get envied about this.

Amitabh - the narrator

Amitabh Bachan is going to do a voice over for the film, 'Jodaa Akbhar'. He will be the narrator of the movie. The movie stars Hrithick Roshan and Aishwaya Rai in the lead roles. The story is about the King Jalaludin Akbar and his loving queen, 'Jodaa.' Amitabh Bachan started his career by doing voice over for the director Mrinal Sen's 'Bhuvan Shome'. Lter he has also done a voice over for Aamir Khan starrer 'Lagaan', 'Pareenitha', 'Tere Mere Sapne', etc. When asked about whether he is doing this film for Aishwarya's presence he denied saying that he has already done this several times and he is just narrating the entire story. So this film will be a treat to watch and to hear!!

Jodhaa Akbar

Ashutosh Gowrikar's Jodaa Akbar is set to release in the later part of this month. This film portrays Akbar the great, as a romantic hero rather than his strengths and righteous deeds. These are some collection of news about the story which I got from the net. This story is set in the 16th century. The movie begins with the marriage of Jodaa (Aishwarya Rai) and Akbar (Hrithik). The Hindu king gives his daughter to the Mugal emperor for political gains. This turns Akbar into a new journey - the journey of true love. From the battlefield where Akbar was crowned as Akbar - the Great, to winning the love of beautiful Jodaa, the movie is impressive. With the music, composed by the maestro A R Rahaman, a huge hit, the film is set to take off in a grand style. Let's wait and watch(only in theaters).
