Aishwarya has a hitch

Aishwarya Rai may have a very difficult choice ahead of her. Apparently, Hollywood star Will Smith, who signed on Aishwarya for one of his upcoming films during his recent visit to India, wants dates from her for three months starting from July this year.

Unfortunately, the actor has already committed that period to Ashutosh Gowarikar for ‘Jodha Akbar’.

Sources say that Ash plans to request Ashutosh to free those dates, but that may not be possible because the filmmaker would then have to get fresh dates from Hrithik Roshan as well. So unless Will Smith delays the film, it may be an opportunity lost.

“We are in a bit of a situation. Aishwarya will obviously stick to her earlier commitment to ‘Jodha Akbar’ as she is very professional. But if she loses out on Will Smith’s film, it would be a great loss. Let’s see what happens. We’re hoping for the best,” said Hari Singh, Aishwarya’s business manager.
