Aishwarya's French Connection

After featuring in numerous English and Hindi films, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has now extended over to foreign language cinema.

Pretty lady Ash will soon be seen in the French film Asterix at the Olympics. The film that stars one of French cinema's most versatile actor Gerard Depardieu will be screened in Mumbai at the upcoming French Film Festival.

The film is touted to be the most expensive European film at 93 million dollars. The film has been extensively shot in Tunisia and Morocco. The film will also see the likes of Formula one champ Michael Schumacher, soccer star Zinedine Zidane and Hollywood action star Jean Claude Van-Damme.

Ash's role has been kept under wraps but sources suggest that Ash has bagged a special role in a film that doesn't have any female lead character.
