Ram Gopal Varma bowled over by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Ram Gopal Varma has his coterie of favourite actresses who are his muse- these include Urmila Matondkar, Antara Mali and Nisha Kothari. But lately he has been bowled over by reigning Bollywood queen bee Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
The director, who had once quoted, “I don’t like cute women”, has been praising Ash for quite some time now. So one wonders why Ram Gopal Varma got a liking for the queen of commercial cinema.

Ram Gopal Varma explains,” When I first approached Aishwarya Bachchan, I never thought of her as a good actress. Her beauty always came to the forefront, making it impossible for me to focus on her acting skills or other aspects. But she surprised me. There was one particular scene in Sarkar Raj with Amitabh Bachchan and she had to give retakes nine times because of some technical mistakes and every time she faced the camera, she behaved as though she was doing it for the first time. I have become a big fan of her’s ever since,”
So perhaps this means we are going to be treated with Ram Gopal Varma- Aishwarya Rai Bachchan joint projects in the future.
