Aishwarya Rai

A lot of suspense is building up around the release of Sarkar Raj, next month as it is director Ram Gopal Verma’s baby after a string of flops and also stars the entire Bachchan family in a package

Fresh from the debacle of ‘Ram Gopal Verma Ki Aag’, Ram Gopal Verma is pinning a lot of of hope on ‘ Sarkar Raj’ . Sarkar Raj is a sequel to the director’s Sarkar, which will also test the fate of Abhishekh Bachchan who stars in both movies.

Also enters the Aishwarya Rai quotient. She stars as a feisty corporate honcho who has a crucial role to play in the saga of the Nagare Family consisting of senior Amitabh Bachchan and junior Abhishekh Bachchan.

But, no, there is no romantic angle between Ash and her real life hubby. In the movie, Abhishekh Bachchan is married to Tanisha Mukherjee.

There are many stories floating around Sarkar Raj.

This includes how Aishwarya Rai used to supervise the lunch of her hubby and father in-law like a dutiful daughter –in-law on the sets.

There is also a tale of how she purchased a pair of Gucci sunglasses form London that set the producers back by a cool Rs10 lakh.

Another rumour is that at the end of the movie, Abhishekh Bachchan’s character is shot down and this story line is giving nightmares to producers. However Ram Gopal Verma denies this story.
