Being a good actor doesn’t come easy. And Aishwarya Rai Bachchan seems to know that a only too well. The actress who is currently in Peru shooting with Rajinikanth for Shankar’s Tamil film Enthiram (earlier called Robot), will return to India and soon start work for Mani Ratnam’s next film Raavan.
Raavan is a contemporary Hindi take on the Ramayana and for the first time in her career, Ash will play a classical singer on screen. Mumbai Mirror reports that Ash will take classical singing lessons to prepare for her role.
“Aishwarya will be learning classical singing for this role. Ideally, she’d like to sing all her songs in Raavan herself. She’s a very good singer in real life. But not good enough to sing classical songs on screen with aplomb. So, like Shabana Azmi in Morning Raga, Aishwarya intends to take lessons in how to look convincing as a singer. She’ll be regularly taking lessons in classical singing from a guru,” the paper quoted a source as having said.
And if the industry buzz is to be believed, Aishwarya will also be doing her riyaaz before she starts shooting for Raavan in October.”She wants to make sure she doesn’t goof up in the scenes where she’ll be singing on screen,” the source reveals to the paper.And that’s not all, Ash will also draw inspiration from ma-in-law Jaya Bachchan’s role in the Hrishikesh Mukherjee film Abhimaan.The source says, “Ash was in any case planning to see Abhimaan again because Rajiv Menon is remaking Abhimaan with her and Abhishek in the lead roles. Now, she’ll be observing her mother-in-law even more closely to take tips on how to look convincing as a singer.”
