Aishwarya Rai has three very different films coming up this year, but director Vipul Shah says his film “Action Replay” will bring to the audiences her first full-fledged comedy.
“Of course comedy, which is the hardest genre to do, is not taken seriously at the awards. But in my film, Aishwarya has done comedy for the first time. She may have attempted it here and there earlier. But this is her first full-fledged comedy role. But she’s welcome to get the awards for her other two releases…I don’t mind,” Shah said.
Mani Ratnam’s “Raavan” and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Guzaarish” are the other two films she will be doing this year.
Shah is all set to release his film in July, arguing that the two films are completely different in mood, theme and treatment.
“Raavan” is slated for a June 18 release. Shah argues that the two films are completely different in mood, theme and treatment.
Now apparently Shah plans to sit down with Mani Ratnam and figure out a release strategy whereby neither film suffers.
