From Miss World to movies, it was director Mani Ratnam who rolled out the red carpet for Aishwarya Rai, to become a full fledged actress. We are talking about the actress' debut in Mani Ratnam's 'Iruvar'. And now we hear that Aishwarya may return to tinsel town, through the same director. Mani Ratnam is gearing up with his bilingual script for Mahesh Babu, Nagarjuna and Fahadh Faasil. The star studded movie is in the lookout for a heroine and Ash is under the lens.

There is a buzz doing the rounds that Aishwarya was approached for the role. But there is no confirmation on the official front yet. If Ash takes up this project, then this will mark the first film for her after child birth, making Mani Ratnam a lucky charm for firsts in her career.
