 March 24: If rumors are to believed, Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai may be soon rubbing shoulders with Hugh Jackman in the next

Abhishek Bachchan, Big B's son. She is currently in Brazil, shooting
for Yash Chopra's Dhoom 2.

only because she’s “the most beautiful woman in the world”.
“It's my dream to put her in the movie, Aishwarya Rai is considered
to be the most beautiful woman in the world,” the director was
quoted as saying.

enormous paydays, will be set in Paris and New York, says Ratner.

of the funniest s**t that I have ever read in my life. I cannot
f***ing wait to shoot this movie,” he said.
