Southern filmmaker P. Vasu,
known for films such as Chandramukhi and Chinna Thambi, says that he has
finalised Aishwarya Rai for his upcoming untitled multilingual, which will
feature the former beauty queen as a Kalari fighter.
"Aishwarya was really
impressed with the script. She will be seen in a never seen before powerful
role. She will essay a Kalari fighter in the film and for the same she will
undergo special stunt training," Vasu said in a statement.
Vasu, who has been scripting
the film for over two years, says it will be high on visual effects.
"Major visual effects
companies are being considered. Animatronics expert from France are being hired
for the visual effects in the film, which will be shot in exotic locales of North
Indian and some important portions in Cambodia," he added.
The film, to be shot
simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, will be produced by K. Ramesh of
Global One Studios.
Two top heroes are being
considered for the male lead. The names will be announced soon.
Aishwarya was, however, yet
to confirm her participation in the Vasu venture.
Vasu, who will also be soon
directing the Kannada remake of recent Malayalam blockbuster Drishyam, has
directed over 50 titles in two decades. He had directed the Hindi film Hogi
Pyaar Ki Jeet.
Meanwhile,
Aishwarya, who has starred in southern films such as Jeans, Enthiran and
Raavan, is reportedly also being considered for filmmaker Mani Ratnam's next
project.
