Aishwarya Rai Bachchan issues statement, denies playing a Kalari warrior

With due respect to all the professionals concerned, I would like to state that this was one among the several scripts/ideas she has been approached for but there have been no confirmations at all. This “press release” came as a huge surprise to all of us. An E-mail clarifying this erroneous ‘press release’ has already been received by our office from the concerned parties.”

Earlier this week, southern filmmaker P Vasu, known for films such as ‘Chandramukhi’ and ‘Chinna Thambi, had said that he had signed Aishwarya for his upcoming untitled multilingual.

In a press release, Vasu had said: “Aishwarya was really impressed with the script. She will be seen in a never seen before powerful role. She will essay a Kalari fighter in the film and for the same she will undergo special stunt training.”

There were also reports that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has signed a film with hubby but nothing came out of it. Aishwarya was last seen in ‘Guzaarish’ in 2010 before going on her maternity leave.
