Aishwarya Rai

She may be one of the most beautiful women in the world, but Aishwarya Rai isn’t much known for her sex appeal.

However, that may change with this Friday’s release Dhoom 2 . The movie has Ash in a sizzling, scintillating role of a spunky girl who teams up with a most-wanted thief to pull off some nearly impossible heists.

When the movie’s director Sanjay Gadhvi approached Ash for the role, he told her that she has been doing very stereotypical, goody-goody roles in films. Gadhvi wanted to break this image and bring forth another side of Ash in ‘Dhoom 2′.

So firstly, Ash had to do rigorous workout and yoga to get back into shape before she began shooting for the film. Even her outfits in the movie are quite revealing. Among her eye-catching outfits are a black catsuit, a golden, low-neck dress (in the image), and a two-piece dress with a tiny top and mini skirt.

These outfits not only complement Ash’s svelte figure and stunning beauty, they also give a new onscreen image to the actress primarily known for her demure and elegant looks.

The film has Ash playing Sunehri, an opportunist who chases her big dreams. There are negative shades to her character.

According to those who have seen the rushes of the movie, Aishwarya has given tough competition to Bipasha Basu in looking sexy.

‘Dhoom 2′ has Ash pairing with Hrithik Roshan for the first time. Abhishek Bachchan , Uday Chopra and Bipasha play cops.

The film releases on November 24.
