If sources are to be believed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be paired opposite Rajnikant in Shankar’s forthcoming film Robot . Shankar who created box office history with his last release Sivaji - The Boss had been to Mumbai recently to meet Aishwasrya Rai.
According to a source the South based filmmaker was in Mumbai for few days to meet Aishwarya. He came in the first week of January and discussed the script and her role with Ash. “Aishwarya has gone through the script before joining Abhishek who is shooting for Dilli 6 in Rajasthan. Even though she has gone through the narration, she is yet to decide about Robot .” says a source.
It believed that Shankar wants Robot to be bigger than Sivaji - The Boss . The film is said to be backed by the Hollywood giant Sony Pictures who are planning to make it a 100 crore budgeted project. It has also learnt that Rajnikant and Shankar are keen to co-produce Robot together.
South King Rajnikant has given his nod to the project after Bollywood’s Badshah Shah Rukh Khan denied it. Now director Shankar wants a big actress opposite Rajnikant. Since the movie is going to be in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu Shankar feels Aishwarya will be apt for it as she has already done south films.

John And Ash To Set The Screen On Fire
Very soon we will get to see John and Aishwarya working together.
Sources reveal that they were supposed to be working on two movies together.
However, shootings could not take off as Ash had some date problems.
Looks like the audience will have to wait for some more time to se the couple together onscreen.
Reports reveal that John is pissed off with Ash’s attitude and decided to back off from one of the projects.
To make matters worse, his vacation with Bipasha Basu in Kenya also got cancelled because of the political turbulence in the country
Sherlyn Chopra to do the bedroom act for a noble cause
Sherlyn Chopra who displayed her outrageous side with her music album ‘Outrageous’ is now set for a noble cause but not without her sensuous image. Yes, the gal will wield whips and chains not to realize some kinky fantasy, but to do an ad for PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals).
According to PETA India’s chief functionary Anuradha Sawhney, the ad will feature Sherlyn in a Victoria’s Secret kind of outfit on a set that would resemble a bedroom. Sherlyn would wield whips and chains in the ad.
The theme of the ad, conceptualized by PETA, would be, “whips and chains should be left to the bedroom and not used on animals in circus.”
Kareena-Saif make it relation official
For the most controversial couple in Bollywood that they are, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan seemed to play it real cool. Barely weeks after rumours of their relationship made their way into the media, the two stars stepped out for the first time at a public function. The event: Manish Malhotra's grand finale show at the Lakme Fashion Week Spring-Summer '08.
Despite the media glare, I must say the twosome carried themselves off brilliantly . Dressed in a strappy black outfit, Kareena looked stunning and fielded questions from the reporters while Saif who standing back-to-back did the same. And them came the moment when Saif, who has repeatedly been issuing denials, finally confirmed the status the of his relationship with Kareena.
"Yes, we are not exactly shouting from the rooftops but yes, clearly we are together. And we are happy together," Saif said.
Following the reported break-up between Kareena and her "boyfriend-for-four-years", Shahid Kapur, the actress and Saif were spotted together at numerous hot spots in Mumbai and Delhi. The two reportedly got close while shooting for their upcoming film Tashan, setting the rumour mills abuzz with their link-up. The actress also celebrated her 27th birthday last month, with a small party for select friends including Saif.
My, how things change! I remember last year Manish Malhotra made Shahid and Kareena the show stoppers at his grand finale. He had dressed them in black and the two had looked so happy together....
Meanwhile, Kareena who has been known for her I-care-a-damn attitude gave Preity Zinta a dose of it too. At the show, despite being just a seat away from Preity, Kareena didn't so much bother to give her a second look let alone talk to her. However on spotting Amrita Arora and Usman Afzal before the show started, she did make it a point to go across the ramp and say hello.
Now Kareena, I know that after a lull, you have quite a few offers up your kitty and possibly that's the reason you are flying high. But sweetheart, you of all people should know that keeping friends in the industry is only good for your own self, shouldn't you?
Kareena Kapoor dons a bikini for Yashraj Films’ ‘Tashan
Yes, she finally does it- the act which almost all the top Bollywood heroines have done. Kareena Kapoor dons a bikini for Yashraj Films’ ‘Tashan’ which has her off-screen love Saif Ali Khan pairing opposite her. The scene, shot in Greece, was kept under wraps and not many were aware of it. But Kareena was preparing for it for months end. She was on a special diet and power yoga to lose weight.
All the efforts have given their results and reportedly, when Kareena appeared wearing the bikini, jaws dropped on the sets. As for her new beau, Saif, he was cool about it and was happy for Kareena, as she has never looked so sexy and hot. The single shot that shows Kareena in her bikini coming out of a swimming pool is going to be the main USP of the film.
New couple Kareena-Saif live it up in Mumbai
That's love-struck Saif Ali Khan for you! When quizzed by HT about his relationship with the Kapoor gal, Saif insisted on playing safe this time.
"I think there's bound to be a lot of hype. The press has certainly changed and has gone more on the lines of a tabloid. But still they are better than the west. They haven't actually turned up in my bathroom. Trust me, I'm looking forward to it."
Ask him a trait of his personality that he had to change after becoming a public figure and he quickly points out, "I get uncomfortable with many heads around. But now I am used to of it. One can't even go to a disc or a fashion show. Earlier I'd get uncomfortable, but now I have learnt the art of handling it."
Talk any further on Kareena, and he declines to entertain. "I do have a body of work that could be better news than who am I partying or going out with."
"Race is my favourite film so far. My look in the film is very cool. I sport a beard. It's very me. It's really sexy."Back to work, a lot seems to keep the actor engaged. To begin with, today, Saif walks the ramp, along with the cast of his forthcoming film Race, for the exclusive line of clothing by Provogue.
"Race is my favourite so far. My look in the film is very cool. I sport a beard. It's very me. It's really sexy."
Talk about looks and Saif will be seen in a different one altogether for Yash Raj Film's Tashan, "I'll be seen in a handlebar moustache. Even that is cool."
The next big thing on his mind is his production company, Illuminati Films, "The films that we make under the banner, will be entertaining. Something on the lines of Being Cyrus. It could be a love story, or an action thriller or a sci-fi," he says.
The project in news so far has been, Agent Vinod. Talk about it, and once again the hot topic (read Kareena) pops up. The buzz is that, Kareena will play the female lead in the film, which is on similar lines as Bond films.
"She could be. If the script demands an actress like Kareena, then why not?" he asks rhetorically.
However, about being part of his own films, Saif says, "I'd probably be a part of most of the films. For me, the idea is to be able to work in the kind of film that I don't get to do otherwise.
