Aishwarya Rai out of 'Robot'

It was officially announced that Aishwarya was to play Rajinikanth's lead lady in Shankar's 'Robot', but it is official now that the former Miss World is no more part of the project!

For super star fans who were all tipsy over the announcement that their hero would be paired with the woman rated as one of the world's most beautiful women, this turn of events would indeed come as a sad news. So what could be the reason behind the twist in the tale? Well, there are two versions.

The first is that Aishwaya Rai Bachchan is pregnant! Could it be that this lovely star has turned down the offer because she is expecting her first child and has hence decided against a project which is scheduled to start only later this year? Until the Bachchans decide to release the pregnancy news, if any, we'll have to wait.

The second version is that Ash was offered a sum less than she desired, so she declined the role in a huff! Yes, it was earlier said that she had been offered a whopping Rs 6 crore for her role and that she had been okay with it. Now the talk is that the actual offer was much less and not astronomical enough for Ash's taste.

No matter which version is true, the definite part about the news is that Ash is indeed out of 'Robot'. So who is Shankar trying to rope in now? Deepika Padukone!

Will Deepika be willing to pick up where Ash left off? Well, that's another story.

Its Aishwarya's loss.

Not acting with Rajnikanth is definitely a big big mistake because he is the biggest superstar India ever has.

Anyways its a good thing because I have always wanted to see Deepika in the film.

If Deepika does not want to do the movie, there is only one option left and that is to rope in Shreya Saran who was with Rajnikant in Shivaji or Asin who is one my favorite actresses 😊

IT'S NOT TRUE !

Ash dispels rumors, says: I will star in Robot

By Behindwoods News Bureau.
February 14, 2008

Ashwariya Rai's commitment to Robot came in for some heavy discussion yesterday. Nearly all sections of the media had recently carried reports of Ash being offered the female lead role in Robot for an astounding sum, making her the top paid actress in the entire country. But only yesterday reports were floating around of Ash pulling out of the movie, citing her pregnancy as a reason. Robot, a 24 month project, was too long a time for her to be away from home, seemed to be the implication.

Dispelling these reports strongly, Ash today said that she is committed to Robot; that she admires Shankar for always being a step ahead of any other filmmaker when it came to making cutting edge techno savvy movies. Excited about working with Rajinikanth, she had nothing but praise for him. Rajini is an institution personified, she added, and she would never miss out on an opportunity to work with him.

And here's further proof of Ash's commitment to the film industry: The actress, along with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, will star in one more Mani Ratnam film. And no! This is not a Tamil film but Hindi.
