Director Sanjay Gupta is impressed with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's hard work and dedication towards her acting and finds her efforts and hard work "commendable".

"She is a team player. She is a military on the set. She completely surrenders herself and the amount of homework she does and comes prepared on the sets is commendable," the director said.

Aishwarya, who is making a comeback on the silver screen with Sanjay's 'Jazbaa', is playing a lawyer and a mother, who is threatened to fight the case of a rape and murder-accused criminal.

The film, which also stars Irrfan Khan, Shabana Azmi and Jackie Shroff among others, is slated to release on Friday.
