For war movie veteran J P Dutta it was Aishwarya Rai who made him change the genre of his films leading to the remake of the 1981 Muzaffar Ali classic 'Umrao Jan'.

"Aishwarya is my Helen of Troy whose face stopped me from going to war again," quipped Dutta, director of war-zone magnum opuses like 'Border' and 'LoC'.

At the premier of the film here yesterday attended by the film's stars Abhishekh Bachchan and Aishwarya, the director said the former Miss World made him change his genre when she finally consented to do the movie, he had been planning for 13 years.

On her part Aishwarya, who flew in from Mumbai after celebrating her 33rd birthday on November one, laughed off queries as to whether she would be a contender for the Oscars in future.

Asked when he and Aishwarya were getting married, Abhishek said "You tell us, since you have been telling us that since the past year."

Questioned on his being branded the "sexiest man in Asia", Bachchan junior said, "it is not true, but thank you for making me feel embarrassed." Abhishekh topped the list of the "50 sexiest men" in Asia in a survey by Eastern Eye, Britain's most popular Asian newspaper.

"It's shocking. Are people blind?" he had responded then.
