Rumour has it that Mani Ratnam and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan may not be coming together after all for her post mommy-hood comeback to tinselville. The buzz was that Ash will feature in Ratnam’s take on a renowned 1983 novel, Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier. Reportedly, she would play the character Mrs. De Winter in the film.
Sources on the inside of Mani Ratnam’s camp denied these rumours. In fact, when Chennai Times got in touch with Ratnam’s wife Suhasini, she rejected reports of Ash and Ratnam doing a film together. When questioned about Ash being called in for the role of Rebecca, she said that it was wrong.
Suhasini added that Ratnam is presently focusing his all on Kadal that has just a week more of shooting left. Post Kadal, he will take a decision about his next film. Another eight months of writing his script. Hence, any news on upcoming projects by the director are untrue. Ratnam’s spokesperson also confirmed that reports about Ash in Ratnam’s next film were just rumours and that the director is undecided at the moment

looks like Aishwarya's silly little plan backfired. ishhh
Mani Sir is a big name in Bollywood and an icon in South India.. actresses are dying to work with him. he can get any actress he wants. he has not contacted Aishwarya Bachchan for any role. He is busy with a different movie right now.
I cant speak for the other anons, but yeah I agree with the chamchas that all anons are the same *rolling eyes* but definitely the ash chamchas are one person with a multiple personality syndrome or they are all related! Otherwise how can so many people make dumb excuses for her ALL the time

i am confused, is voicewriter sujata in disguise or is it oxygen or maybe both of them???
i am neither an admirer nor a confused admirer, i don't care actually about her come back ... but no one can deny that she used to be a very beautiful lady just like in this pic ... maybe she will achieve to look just like this again, hope for her, otherwise it would be a waste of her beauty
_______________________________________________________
How can I possibly be all these people????? OMG. First I was accused of being Kitty then Fiza now Sujata and Oxygen? Seriously, even a person with absolutely no life cannot manage to be that many personalities. o_O
Doesn't like her as an actress.....but no denying the fact that she is the most beautiful woman from Bollywood.PERIOD.
lets face it.. Ash is no Shabana Azmi or Smita Patil to get movies based on her acting. she always got roles because of her face and she can dance well.
but now looking at her size, why would anyone offer her a big movie. it would be a big risk. plus with that weight she will not be dancing well either. both her plus points are gone now.
AISH IS THE GLOBAL ICON. WHO CARES ABOUT THEIR HATRED. THEY ARE TINY DROPS WHO ALWAYS COMES IN THE NAME OF ANONYMOUS. AISH ALL THE WAY. KEEP STEPPING ON THEM AISH. THEY ARE THE LOOSERS

NB. I am calling on all hater experts, seriously, correct me if I am wrong, if you know an Indian celebrity more hated and scrutinised than Aishwarya please let me know. Even Shiney Ahuja who was accused of rape does not have this many people hating on him.
...........................
most of this so called hate is induced by own fans actually who vigorously attack anyone who doesn't glorify her.
-------------------------
This is absolutely true! Anytime one mentions that he/she doesn't find her 'the most beautiful' or 'she's just pretty' or mentions that her acting could be better - both a matter of personal perference - they're automatically labeled a 'hater' because they don't worship her like her delusional fans who can't seem to think for themselves. The 'hate' actually comes from her fans who can't seem to get beyond the fact that people will have differing opinions.
@PV - please post! Or just call yourself AshVilla.
How can she? With her size she can't fit into the 70mm screen. :-)
@ VW, your theory about Aishwarya being "the most hated celebrity in the history of India" made me LOL. Just because a someone is allowed to spam the page on PV with multiple anonymous comments does not make them the majority.
-----------------------------------------
So true...Lol ash aunty is never coming back...thank u god....
Lmao....lmao....ash ash when will u change....such cheap things expected 4m u....lol...
As they say "even if you lie, you should be aware of your limits"
Aishwarya PR keep spreading false news for publicity.. but associating her with a lead role in Mani ratnam movie when she is at least 10 kgs overweight is just not on.
Aishwarya thinks she will get roles inspite of being fat?? sorry this is bollywood. u get roles for your beauty. if you are so overweight and so old, no one will come to you. most of all there seems to be no effort to lose that weight. why would mani ratnam take this big risk..

Brilliant. I never hated her. I can be critical of her but no one deserves to be called a hater because they don't kiss her ass on every post!!!

Actually Ash is the female version of AB with her fame and connection to the public.
Ash will be a superstar till her last breath. Haters are confused for sure since by clicking they are making her the hugest star.
How many times are they going to remake the novel Rebecca? Find a new story.
LOL
Feels like I'm in a dessert!!
I'm kind of glad this didn't work out, I don't wanna see Aishwarya coming back with a Mani Ratnam or SLB film, its a bit too 'done that' for her. I really want her to work with Vishal Bharadwaj! Make that happen universe!
Oh well. I'm sure they'll come together for another project, if not this one then another one! :)

Why didn't TOI ask them before publishing the actual news yesterday..But Actually this news came from MUmbai Mirror..But I don't know,I think there's gonna be something here..If media had to spread the rumor,they would have just said that Ash's making her comeback with a Mani film or she's doing a film that was previously shelved..But they have mentioned the book and other details about it...Maybe they aren't sure about it like @Wed, 2012-10-03 03:12 — Anonymous says and just maybe talking.Or it could just be complete media imagination and no truth to it at all!lol..who knows?
I would definitely love her seeing work with Mani,he is one of the greatest directors in Indian cinema..And would love Ash playing a super strong role in woman centric film that does complete justice to her talent and just rock it with a superrrb and powerful performance!! But dunno why I am not so keen on this novel adaptation.

you all haters should get a life.First of all Aishwarya never said this this was started by TOI and now they denied it!
Wed, 2012-10-03 06:09 — Anonymous
dats sad...i thot that this will be it........ and firstly it was reported by TOI...now denied by TOI..... so where does the pr of aish comes in to picture i wonder...
PR can buy TOI. can it?
Vashishtha.
Thanks @Aristocrat xx
wishful thinking much;))
Mani Sir refused to be a part of this cheap attention gaining gimmick by Aishwarya and hence his wife denied these reports. Aishwarya should lose weight before dreaming about Mani Sir's movies.
