Aishwarya dons yet another ‘Taj’

Ex-Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan just doesn’t seem to tire herself of doing historical epic films. After signing Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar and Ben Kingsley’s Taj Mahal, Ash is all set to star in yet another film on the Taj Mahal.

While in Ben Kingsley’s Taj Mahal Ash will play the role of Mumtaz Mahal, in Michael Radford’s Taj she’ll play the role of Salim’s wife Mandi. This fact just fuels the rumours that the Bachchan bahu no longer intends to play bold characters or do intimate scenes in films. The demure Ash has quite a subtle role in Sarkar Raj while in Jodhaa Akbar she plays the role of simple Rajput princess.

Does this mean that we’ll get to see less of Aishwarya on the big screen, considering most of the historical epics have already been taken by other stars?
