Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Even as speculation about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's involvement in writer duo Siddharth — Garima's (Siddharth Singh and Garima Wahal) directorial debut continues to do the rounds, the makers of the film have been vocal about their desire to rope in the actor. "Aishwarya is our first choice for this role," Singh tells mid-day of his relationship saga that is set in Gujarat and delves into the subject of surrogacy in India. "If she hops aboard, she will essay a rural, rustic character like this one for the first time. Aishwarya is flexible, and puts tremendous effort into bringing her characters to life."
