We have had South stars doing Bollywood films and vice versa. Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is
reportedly planning to do a couple of Tollywood films.
The stunner is no stranger to Tamil having debuted in
Mani Ratnam's Iruvar in 1997. She was raw debutant then. Today she is the sophisticated star and one of BTowns top
heroines.
The actress has come full circle since those times. After almost a decade, two of Aishwarya's upcoming projects will
have Tamil versions.
Raavan and Robot will be dubbed in Tamil as Ravana and Endhiran respectively. Though
she has done Tamil films like Jeans, Kandukondain Kandukondain, these are her most ambitious Tollywood ventures
so far.
In Raavan, she teams up with hubby Abhishek and mentor Ratnam while in Robot; she will be seen
with Rajnikanth. A Tamil coach tutored her on the language and diction for Raavan. The lady wowed everyone by
dubbing for her own lines.
She also got the tone and accent right! For Robot, it was Rajni himself who gave
her lessons. A source revealed to Sampurn Wire that Ash is a fast learner. Though she found it difficult at first, soon
she was able to rattle off lengthy dialogues with ease!
This has made the diva more confident about doing Tamil projects. She loves Tamil films as they are technically and
script wise very rich. When asked about it, she stated that she has to understand the dialogues before delivering
them.
She dislikes mugging dialogues without knowing what she is saying. So she made special efforts to
learn the nuances of Tamil before embarking on these projects. The results are there for everyone to see! Vannakam
anyone?
