Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai has begun shooting for her Hollywood movie ‘Pink Panther 2’ in Paris.

After visiting New York and Toronto last week (where they announced the ‘Unforgettable Tour’) Ash and Abhishek Bachchan flew to Paris early this week.

They are not there for vacation, but because Ash began shooting for Pink Panther 2 from Monday this week. Photos on the Internet show Abhishek accompanying Aishwarya to the film’s sets.

In ‘Pink Panther 2’, Ash plays a detective and Karate expert named Sophie who teams up with Inspector Jacques Clouseau (played by Steve Martin) and his colleague (played by Alfred Molina) to catch a clever and elusive thief who steals expensive pieces of art from different countries of the world.

The film’s shooting was done on the streets of Paris. Ash shot her scenes with Steve Martin and Alfred Molina. She looked dazzling in a white trench coat and metallic Christian Louboutin peep-toe shoes.

Hubby Abhishek Bachchan also accompanied Ash on the sets. While Ash shot her scenes, Abhi hung around with her international agent, Simone Sheffield.

Ash would often walk back to Abhi after shooting her scene. Abhi, too, looked handsome in a black jacket and blue jeans.

This shooting schedule of ‘Pink Panther 2’ does not require Ash to stay for many days. However, she will shoot extensively for the film from September to October.

‘Pink Panther 2’ is being directed by Harald Zwart. The film is set to release in 2009.
