Aishwarya Rai to work with Vishal Bhardwaj

It was Vishal Bhardwaj who took out the best from Tabu in ‘Maqbool’ and Kareena Kapoor in ‘Omkara’. Vishal took up direction in 2002 with the children’s film ‘Makdee’ and since then he had always wanted to work with Aishwarya Rai. He was the music composer on a project with her that got shelved.
Finally, Vishal and Ash have teamed up together for a film titled as ‘Timbuctoo’ that Vishal had approached Aishwarya in the past. But that film never materialized.
Talking about the project with Vishal, Aishwarya said “Vishal and I have wanted to work together ever since he was the music composer on a project that got shelved. We had promised one another that I would star in his film whenever he turned director”.
Confirming about the proposed film the actress said “I was very impressed by Vishal’s work. But he insisted that we would work together only when he found absolutely the right project. That has finally happened. Vishal has bounced the script off me. And we both feel this is the right project for us to come together”
