| As she slips into the role of 'Umraao Jaan' everyone seems to be talking about her dedications and drive. Says her director J.P. Dutta, "With her head tilted slightly to one side, Ash seems to be giving away nothing on her face. She absorbs the details, and then goes to the camera for an emotion-spill." As Umraao she strikes one as being as poised and in-control … as Rekha in Muzaffar Ali's 'Umraao Jaan'. "Though Ash is far better dancer than Rekha," claimed Dutta. Incidentally Dutta is now shooting the film in Rajasthan with Aishwarya Rai only in the absence of Abhishek Bachchan, who is supposed to play male lead, currently busy looking after his ill father in hospital. |
