Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has gone slow in signing any new films. This can be confirmed from the fact that the pretty woman doesn't have a single (yes you read it right) film in hand right now. No, it isn't because of 'Guzaarish', 'Action Replayy' and 'Raavan' biting the dust. The actress still has filmmakers queuing up to lap her on. However the lady hasn't given a nod to any of them hence kick starting many a speculation.

"It isn't surprising at all that Aishwarya has suddenly put brakes on her acting career," says an industry insider, "Last year was quite tough for her when she had as many as four releases, including 'Endhiran'/'Robot'. In fact for the Rajnikanth starrer, her only successful film of the year, she had invested more than two years. She couldn't afford dedicate much time on her personal life."

However not anymore as all her backlog flicks, including the Akshay Kumar starrer 'Action Replayy' which took its own time in reaching the finishing line, have been released. Though there was a time when she was supposed to start 'Dhun' with hubby Abhishek, the film is now on a backburner. Even in the West there is absolutely nothing happening with her Hollywood stint finally coming to an end with 'The Pink Panther' (in 2009) not quite winning her new fans.

No wonder, Ash has put a total stop on any acting assignments whatsoever; well for near future at the least. Now if the stork visits her soon, remember you read it first here.
