Can Ash make a strong comeback and justify the hype? - Page 5

I dont think either of Ash's supposed comeback films are practical. Maniratnam wont waste his time on the film with her minus any big stars as the film wont be financially viable with only Ash as the biggest star in it. I think the Sanjay Gupta film is a carrot given to him by the Bachchans for Abhishek's film. Either Ash will back out or it will be scrapped. Once again a action film with a 40+ female in the lead doesnt sound like a viable option.

She's built a fab and diverse filmography so no complaints as to her films until now.

Also her last four films weren't exactly flops. Robot was the biggest blockbuster of 2010 and she had a pretty great role in it. Raavanan was a big hit too. Guzaarish might not have made 100 crore, but she won critical acclaim and awards for the role.

Coming back to her 'comeback', I think she's taking a risk. Sanjay Gupta's movie sounds exciting but he's not ever dependable. I cannot believe Ash would choose such a risky film over a safe film like Happy New Year which is a certified blockbuster. But this is how her choices have always been - unconventional and not driven by Box office prospects. She's doing Jazbaa and Mani Ratnam's films because the genres - action thriller drama and spy thriller - are something she's never attempted before.

But again, she's not a Rani or Preity for her fate to depend on one or two films. One film can't break her legacy. Rani and Preity's ever dependence on the Khans is what killed their careers. Aishwarya was long freed from them, she has survived for a decade and more without them and she has the gall to still reject a Shah Rukh Khan film, a film any current actress would've jumped at. That was unpredictable, but that's how Ash works.

😆

IMO this Sanjay Ghupta movie is a remake of sorts of the Angelina's SALT. I think if made right, the movie could be a hit and can do wonders for Aishwariya's career.

sanjay gupta is the one of the worst director out there. ash will be a fool if she works with him.

i just hope she does not make a comeback with her husband, that will do no good to either of them.

Ash does have a hit on her own.

Aishwarya's Bride and Prejudice a hit. Back in 2004 it made over 25 million in collections - which was unheard of for an Indian actress back then, because the film didn't work in India everyone assumes it was a flop - but that is def not the case!

Like I said her movies usually don't work because they are risky cinema. I think anyone can star in a Kal Ho Na Ho or Hum Tum but to choose movies like Raincoat, Chokar Bali, Shabd - even Guzarish, Guru and raavan weren't exactly "mainstream roles". She's always taken the alternative path and I think that's her biggest strength. I mean look at it this way, here we are talking about her and she hasn't been on screen for 4 years and her last hit was in 2007. For me that is more significant than starting in hit movies
