The queen of Bollywood, Aishwarya Rai will be seen teaming up with Rajnikant, an actor who is two decades elder to her. This is something that doesn’t happen very often in Bollywood. Ash had no qualms in acting opposite the 60-year-old south superstar Rajnikant for director Shankar’s film Endhiran (Robot).
In fact Ashwarya Rai compared the south star to her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.
“Rajni sir, like pa (Amitabh Bachchan) is a professional and humility personified. There was no age factor. They are both legendary actors due to their body of work. Hence, their cinema becomes exciting to the viewers. Rajni sir’s humility is a lesson to learn,” Aishwarya said.
Speaking about her role in the flick Robot, Ash said,
“So far, I have done character driven roles and not been part of conventional commercial genre for a long time. Sanaa is not a difficult character. It is what leading ladies in an entertainer do. In my case, such roles have been rare,”
‘Endhiran’ will hit theaters on October 1.
