The tinsel town is buzzing with this latest tidbit, that - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will make a comeback with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film.
Talks are that the project in question is actually Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani' his dream film which is lying on the she lf for a considerable time. While earlier the filmmaker wanted to have Salman Khan and Aishwarya in lead, the film will have now Shah Rukh Khan instead, rumours reveal.
Although the 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' pairing would have garnered much hype, SRK-Aishwarya jodi cannot be ignored as well. After all the two looked compatible in 'Mohabattein', 'Devdas', 'Shakti' Shah Rukh and Aishwarya first worked together in 'Josh' as siblings, but then they replaced the performance with romance in 'Mohabattein'.
On the other hand, if things fall in place then this will be the fourth time that Aishwarya will work with Bhansali - after 'Hum Dil De...', 'Devdas' and 'Guzaarish'.
Now let's wait and see if the Badshah and the gorgeous diva will indeed come together in SLB's project.
