'The Rebel’ wants only Aishwarya Rai
After making The Rising, director Ketan Mehta is now busy planning his next lavish production ‘The Rebel’ in which he plans to cast Aishwarya Rai as Rani Laxmibai.
Ash is already playing a Byzantine warrior in The Last Legion for which she is currently shooting in Russia. Mehta’s film would be a second film where she would be required to do some hard core action.
Mehta wants to release the film on August 15, 2007 to mark the 150 years celebration of the 1857 Mutiny. Says Singh, “Ketan Mehta is willing to wait for Ash’s dates as long as the film is released on the scheduled date.” Mehta, however, says that it is incidental that it will also mark the 150th year of the National Uprising.
