But paying heed to the General's advice, Aishwarya has decided to do away with Pak bashing or jingoism.
Just a few days back, the General had made an earnest personal plea to Ash not to act in films that projected Pakistan in a bad light.
"The film is not anti-Pak," says Rai.
"It's about the struggle of a valiant girl who showed extreme courage in such a difficult situation," she adds further.
Tanuja Chandra will direct the film. It took various rounds of meeting before Ash agreed to do the film.
"Usually it is I who write the stories of my film. But this time when the producers T. Subrramani Reddy of Telesoft narrated the story to me, I was hooked. I wanted to direct the film," says Chandra elucidating the details of her films.
The films is yet in the scripting stage and will take some time before you can see the valiant Ash fighting tooth and nail with Pak soldiers.
