On the sets, of course! The girl who has stolen hearts is all set to kick. And she’s not dueling with any actor, but the biggest of ’em all: the superstar. This is for the film ‘Yanthram’ in which she plays his love interest.

It is now confirmed that Aishwarya Rai has an action sequence in the Rajini starrer, and she is currently undergoing coaching from the Japan Shido Riyuv institute in Chennai for Karate. This school is being run by Ramesh, who has been a martial arts coach for 30 years now.

Remember Aish as the brave and beautiful Rajput princess of ‘Jodha Akbar’? With a bit of luck she is ready for a tough fight with our own superstar this time. Her nimble fingers and slender hands are now being taught to learn the deadly self defense art.

But that’s not all for the Mangalore beauty, who has also been learning carnatic music and bharathanatyam to play her role in Mani Ratnam’s ‘Raavana’. These south Indian projects are definitely a demanding, yet rewarding work out for the World Beauty.
