Indian-International star Aishwarya Rai stars in the role of a Byzantine warrior in the epic film ‘The Last Legion’. Part fact, part legend, 'The Last Legion' is based on acclaimed author Valerio Massimo Manfredi’s international best-selling 2003 novel of the same name.

The film is set against the fall of the Roman Empire in 470AD and its last emperor, 12-year-old Romulus Augustus. The producers have assembled a stellar cast on this epic film about courage, loyalty and unfailing resolve.

"This film is quite a departure from any other film Aishwarya Rai has ever done. I never thought I would see her climbing a wall and hanging some 400 feet above sea level. I am amazed at what great shape she is in. Her mere strength and total lack of fear in portraying this warrior is incredible! Her fans will be shocked then thrilled with this never before seen Aishwarya. She is simply marvelous," states Simone Sheffield, Rai's International Manager.
