Ash gives 'Guru' her best dates Faheem Ruhani Tuesday, April 18, 2006 19:28 IST The busy actor makes time to shoot for filmmaker Mani Ratnam's forthcoming movie. On Monday, Aishwarya Rai began shooting for director Mani Ratnam's 'Guru'. Interestingly, this is the first time that Aishwarya is working under the directorial baton of a filmmaker for a second time. It may be recalled that Ratnam had launched the former Miss World's film career with the Tamil film 'Iruvar'. Ash is currently shooting for 'Guru' in a village in Karnataka. This is the second schedule of the film. The first schedule of the movie, which was shot in Turkey with Abhishek Bachchan, didn't require her presence. While many a filmmakers have been waiting desperately to cast Ash in their films, her busy schedule has not allowed her to take on new projects. What is not surprising is that Ash has prioritised the film of her debut director Mani Ratnam over others like Ashutosh's 'Akbar Jodha and 'Dhoom II'. In fact, Will Smith, Ketan Mehta and Ashutosh Gowarikar were other makers vying for the dates of the actor to kick off their projects. The actor has just wrapped up the shooting of 'Umrao Jaan' also starring Abhishek Bachchan. Apparently, filmmaker Aditya Chopra has been very accommodating and has allowed some of Ash's dates be given to 'Guru'. Says Harii Singh, Ash's business manager, "It only shows the regard and respect other makers have for Mani Ratnam. Why only Ash, any actor would go out of the way to work for a filmmaker like Mani Ratnam." http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1024796&CatID=7
