Aishwarya to play a double role in her next

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was last seen in ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’. After almost two years, she is again set to return to the big screen with Atul Manjrekar’s ‘Fanne Khan’. The flick also stars Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao in pivotal roles, and we are excited to find out how this amalgamation of three great talents would turn out to be!

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Ash will soon do a thriller which will be shot in Europe. Producer Prernaa Arora confirmed the news and said, “Working with Aishwarya on ‘Fanne Khan’ has been a pleasure. Now, there are two more films we are collaborating on with her. Siddharth Anand will be co-producing the film with me, which is an edgy thriller. This film will see Aishwarya in a double role and we will soon finalise the leading man opposite her.”

Prernaa also revealed that they are planning to rope in the actress for the remake of Nargis Dutt-starrer ‘Raat Aur Din’. She said, “It will be a homage to Nargisji and is a special project for all of us. Aishwarya has already said that she would love to play the main role. I have also discussed the project with Sanjay sir (Dutt), and he has approved of the idea and our choice of Ash to play the role originally essayed by his late actress-mother.”

Well, it will surely be interesting to watch Aishwarya playing the double role on the big screen.
