Now the buzz is that Bahu Bachchan Aishwarya Rai is alls et to be cast opposite Mahesh Babu in this yet to be titled bilingual.

Aishwarya would have given weight to the fact that she entered the film industry thru Mani Ratnam's 'Iruvar' and decided to wait for the ace director's time to give the re-entry as well. Incidentally, her last outing 'Raavan' was also with the same director.

Reports also suggest that Aishwarya Rai will be seen playing a negative role, in a completely new avatar. The shooting of the flick will go on floors by September or October, 2014.
