These days, Aishwarya is making more news in the Tamil film industry as her mania is crazing fans down south. The actress has been shooting simultaneously for Mani Ratnam's bilingual flick ‘Raavan' and Shankar's ‘Endhiran'.

Earlier, she had mastered her enunciation of Tamil so fluently that Superstar Rajnikanth was floored by her Tamil.

Now, Aishwarya Rai has topped herself, with yet another achievement; by learning Karate for the film Endhiran. Endhiran features Rajnikanth and Aishwarya Rai in the lead and is produced by Sun Pictures. The film is directed by Shankar. In order to act in the stunt scenes, Aishwarya is learning karate.

Ramesh is running a karate school in Chennai. For the past 30 years he has been training karate to various actors. Since there is a scene where Aishwarya Rai has to fight, Shankar has decided to teach her karate.

Now Ramesh is coaching her in karate. According to the sources they have stated early, since this scene is very important to film, so Ash is being trained in the martial art. Earlier Aishwarya learnt fencing for Jodha Akbar that won her appreciations.
