A birdie tells us that though Mattel Toys are in talks with Aishwarya Rai as the new choice for Barbie Dolls, nothing is finalised.
Sources state, "The company is interested in a younger actress. They plan to rope in Genelia D'souza.
They feel she is cute and the youth can relate to her as she is doll-like.
Ash has crossed a certain age and is all over the place. They are looking for an actress of today's generation."
