Ash sweats it out for her next film

Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is returning to the arclights with Abhishek Bachchan in
‘Happy Anniversary’ and the film’s producer says she will be back on the big screen in the same avatar as seen in Dhoom 2.

Aishwarya’s grunge look and size zero in the hit action-thriller became a rage at that time. “Aishwarya is working hard for the film. She is trying hard to lose weight. I can say she will be seen as ‘Dhoom Girl’ in the film,” the film’s producer Doshi says. Doshi, who has produced films like Bawandar and Aankhen, says  it was the script that convinced the actress to take up the role after her sabbatical following motherhood. Set to go on floors early next year, ‘Happy Anniversary’ will be directed by Prahlad Kakkar and will hit the screens next year itself.

“I share a good relationship with Amitabh Bachchan but Abhishek and Aishwarya agreed to do the film because of the script. They are an ideal couple and look good together. The film will be widely shot in South Africa,” the producer says.
