Of late, Aishwarya Rai must be chatting a lot with father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan, about films in general and her projects in particular. In the course of one such chat session, she told Big B about the impressive organisational skills of director Ashutosh Gowariker, as seen on the sets of her next, Jodha Akbar. So much so, that ever since Ash has started shooting for Jodha Akbar at Nitin Desai Studios at Karjat, Big B has been really keen on seeing the studio and the shooting of the film.
Ash also raved about the sets and her costumes to father-in-law. Neeta Lulla has designed the costumes for Ash, and Ash has been talking about them to everyone. "Amitabh wanted to see Aishwarya Rai in Jodhabai's get-up, but he didn't want to arrive on Ashutosh's sets since Ashutosh doesn't welcome visitors. Then, Nitin Desai thought of throwing a party on the sets on March 7 and invited Amitabh," says our source.
When we contacted art director Nitin Desai, he confirmed the news, saying, "Yes, Mr. Bachchan will be attending the party on March 7. I wanted him to visit the studio and his presence will be like a blessing for all of us."
Nitin adds, "Of course, both Hrithik Roshan and Ash will be shooting on that date. We are planning to wind up the shooting by 6:30 pm, after that Amitji will look around the studios and then we'll have a party. Amitji will come slightly early and visit the sets of Jodha Akbar, and will also meet Aishwarya Rai."
