Aishwarya-Bipasha slug it out

Rituparna Ghosh's'Mahabharata' has already started a war in bollywood. Bipasha who was considered the best choice for the role suddenly has some competition. And her contender is none other than Aishwarya Rai.

Earlier Raj Kumar Santoshi was planning a film based on the 'Mahabharata' and was considering Ash for Draupadi's role.

But Bipasha is very confident about getting the role.

"Ritu has been very sweet. He has come to me with so many scripts. But I want to do Draupadi with him. I've grown up hearing the tales from the Mahabharat. Draupadi is a favourite character," she gushes.

"People say I'm too westernized to play Draupadi. But I know myself. This is one thing that Ritu and I are definitely doing together."
