We already know that Aishwarya Rai is going to portray Mumtaz in Ben Kingsley’s film on the Taj Mahal, but we can now also reveal that she might play Shah Jahan’s mother Mandi for yet another big-budget Hollywood epic flick.
Il Postino director Michael Radford wants the Bollywood actress for his film, Taj. Line producer Abhik confirms, “We don’t want Aishwarya to play Mumtaz. Instead we want her to play Mandi, Shah Jahan’s mother.”
Taj will be produced by Kenneth Atchity and shooting will take place mostly in Jaipur and Delhi.
