Now, more details have been revealed about her character and reportedly Bachchan will not only play a singer but will also pay a tribute to Lata Mangeshkar as she plays her fan in the film.

In real life as well Aishwarya is reported to be a huge fan of the legendary singer. A source revealed, "She plays a popular singer in the film and a fan of Lata. You can't escape Lata's influence if you're playing a singer".

The producer of the film Prerna Arora is trying to acquire the rights for a few of Lata Ji's famous melodies. The source further adds, "Apart from a few original tracks, Aishwarya will also recreate a few of Lata's numbers. That isn't the film's only connection with Lata.

Well, we cannot hold our excitement to watch this beautiful actress to pay a tribute to the most melodious and amazing singer!
