Aishwarya Rai seems to have been signed by Ben Kingsley for his Taj Mahal movie, where Kingsley himself will play Shah Jahan and Aish as Mumtaz.
Bharatbala-ARR's Taj Mahal shooting was stuck at 50% (as told by Bharatbala himself) for quite a while now. With Aish moving to another similar project, this seems as good as gone. Link for report on the Ben Kingsley Taj Mahal -> http://indiafm.com/news/2007/09/27/10163/index.html -Vinod
