Mani Ratnam roped in Aishwarya for his next is a rumour!

Refuting the buzz that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been roped in for Mani Ratnam’s next, based on Daphne Du Maurier’s famous novel Rebecca, Mani Ratnam’s wife Suhasini said it’s wrong and baseless.   "Mani is currently focused on Kadal, which still has seven days of shoot left. He will decide on his next only after this film releases. It will take him eight more months after that to write his next script. So, any news about his future project that comes up in this time period is false," said Suhasini straightaway.  Mani Ratnam’s spokesperson too denied the news calling it’s a rumour. “Mani sir is currently busy with he post production work of ‘Kadal’. He’s yet to decide on his next.  The stories doing the rounds about his next film with Ash are just rumours.”
However we couldn’t contact Aishwarya, who’s presently in Chicago, for her reaction.  However some sources still doesn’t want to distrust the news; according to them once Mani Ratnam’s ‘Kadal’ gets completed, he will start working on ‘Rebecca’ and in the name role, Aishwarya is his natural choice.  If everything falls in place, this will be Aishwarya’s comeback film after a long hibernation.
