Bangalore, dec 07: Aishwarya Rai, the heartthrob of millions, is all set to fly to Hollywood. “Expect an announcement soon,” she told reporters, who asked her if she would be trying her luck in Hollywood. “I have not spoken to the media about this till now. I am currently going through several scripts and holding talks with various studios in the US. Complete details will be announced shortly,” said the former Miss World, who was in the City to launch a new camera film of Fuji.
“When I was in the US in October for a charity programme, I happened to talk to some of the US studios. They are keen and wanted me to start the shoot from January itself. But I am still going through the scripts,” the sensuous Bollywood beauty said.
But how did she hit upon the idea of a Hollywood journey? “When I was in the Cannes film festival, I was encouraged by a lot of people. They said that I should give it (Hollywood) a go.” Does it mean that Bollywood will be losing one of the leading actresses? “No,” explains Aish, “whether it’s English, Hindi, Tamil or Bangla, it’s just another film.” Acting in Hollywood means representing India at international level, she quipped.
