IS Aishwarya Rai- Bachchan all set to work with Kate Winslet? If the buzz is to be believed, a global cosmetics brand that Ash endorses could team the Bollywood superstar with the Titanic heroine Kate Winslet for a new ad- film.
Ash is the Indian brand ambassador of the brand in question. Kate promotes a luxury brand owned by the same cosmetics house. Reports suggested that the two actresses could be roped in to add their special star power to promote both brands.
Neither Ash nor her spokesperson are confirming the reports yet. "The media will be informed if any development takes place," Ash's spokesperson said. Though the Aishwarya camp was tightlipped, there were reports that the ad film will be shot in Italy within the next couple of weeks. Reportedly, the ad film will be shot over two days.
These reports have gained ground because Ash is scheduled to head for Italy soon.
"Aishwarya may be offered the ad depending on how things fall in place.
Several logistics have to be worked out," informs a source. It shouldn't be a problem for the actress to shoot for the film as she has already wrapped up major portions of her forthcoming films, the source added.

If Kate and Ash indeed come together for the ad- campaign, it will be a never- before casting coup. In India, Kate Winslet, despite winning the Oscar for her role in The Reader , will always be popular as the Titanic girl.

In the meantime, Ash made news for Rahul Dholakia's forthcoming Lamhaa . A scene in the film has Anupam Kher's character sarcastically saying that news channels were more interested in whether Aishwarya Rai managed to see the moon than in the plight of Kashmiris.

Dholakia feared a backlash from Ash's father- in- law Amitabh Bachchan over the dialogue. So the film's trailer was shown to the Bachchans. A relieved Dholakia said: "He understood that Ash's reference was only a metaphor for glamour and celebrity." Next year, Ash is set to work with Vishal Bhardwaj on a femalecentric project.
Despite the debacle of Raavan , Ash has a busy year ahead. She will be seen with Rajnikanth in Shankar's Endhiran followed by a comic outing in Vipul Shah's Action Replayy opposite Akshay Kumar. She will also be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Guzaarish, co- starring Hrithik Roshan.
