Resource for Ash With Abhishek In Karans Next And Sarkar News with indian and pakistani music reviews and forums. Continue for our current list of the Ash With Abhishek In Karans Next And Sarkar News.

The Ash season has started in right earnest. After Umrao Jaan and Dhoom last year , it's Mani Rathnam's

Guru. "I've Provoked and The Last Legion coming up one after another early this year. So between

now and March I've four more releases. Is that too much of me?" she laughs musically, undeterred by the tepid response to

Umrao Jaan.

"It was a great role, and working with J.P. Dutta was truly a joy. According me the film was everything it was meant to

be…In Umrao one didn't get to see the same me as Devdas or Taal. Again in Dhoom 2, Guru and

Provoked audiences will get to see me playing distinct characters."

The reluctant queen of controversies has said yes to two new films in 2007. One is Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar 2 and the

other is a film to be produced by Karan Johar and directed his assistant Tarun Mansukhani. Both will pair her with Abhishek

Bachchan again

"There're other projects that I'm on the verge of signing this year. Very interesting scripts that I'll most probably say yes to. But at

the moment I'm having the time of my life shooting for Jodha-Akbar. Ashutosh Gawariker is not just a meticulous director

but also a very sweet and sincere human -being."

According to Gulzar Saab who wrote the lyrics , Aishwarya has never looked more beautiful than she does in Guru.

"That's so sweet. It's a very simple middleclass look. In Guru I got to work with my guru again. If you remember I started

my career with Mani Rathnam in Iruvar. Now after ten years we're back together again. Guru has been a very

very special experience."

I was working with Abhishek's first director in

Umrao Jaan J.P.Dutta and he was working with Mani Sir in Guru who's my first director.

Ask her if she supports Abhishek's performance in Guru just as he supported her performance in Umrao Jaan, and

she protests, "I don't know if 'support' is the right word. We've both worked with full commitment in both films, regardless of

the length of our roles. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Abhishek in two such different films. When we were doing

Umrao Jaan talks were on for Guru. We'd keep smiling about the irony of it. I was working with Abhishek's

first director and mentor for the first time. And he was working with Mani Sir who's my first director. There was a huge

comfort level on both the sets."

Ash goes into a flashback. "JP was among the filmmakers who had called, asking to launch me…As luck would have it I was

launched by Rahul Rawail in Aur..Pyar Ho Gaya. And never mind if it didn't do well. We had a blast making that film. I

remember Mr Subhash Ghai saying that the best thing to have happened to the beginning of my career was Aur …Pyaar

Ho Gaya because thereafter there was only one way to go. Everyone needs to go through the grind."

And now Ash is fully into Jodha-Akbar. "I'm doing a bit of sword-fighting and horse-riding. I've done some sword-fighting

for The Last Legion. I'm enjoying my first Indian historical. … Umrao Jaan was different. It was a costume

drama, yes. But look at the amount of attention we've paid to the costumes in Dhoom 2. Would you call that a costume

drama? Detailing is as important to Umrao Jaan as Dhoom 2. In the latter I've got a new hair-stylist and hair-desser

to give my character a new look. Sunehri was as much a first in my career as Umrao."

Ash finds the roles coming her way very challenging. "I've been around for ten years and there's still something new to bring to

the table every time." As for the question that's looming large over her life, Ash sighs deeply, "I'm a normal girl. And I do

believe in the institution of marriage . As a normal girl I'm definitely looking forward to marriage in my life. It'll be a joyous

occasion for me, and one that I'd like to share with everyone. But please wait for the announcement and do not make

assumptions."
