Aishwarya Rai Bachchan opens up about her upcoming projects

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who is currently wowing fans with her impeccable beauty and charm at the on-going Cannes Film Festival in France, has an interesting line-up of films. The actress will shortly be seen in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's much-anticipated film Fanne Khan where she teams up with Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao.

Besides Fanne Khan, the former beauty queen has also been approached for three new projects by Prernaa Arora and Arjun N Kapoor's KriArj Entertainment. These films include Jasmine, Woh Kaun Thi and Raat Aur Din remakes.


Talking about the same, she said, "After I was given a narration of Jasmine, I requested the team to rewrite a few things. So we'll see where that goes. Woh Kaun Thi and Raat Aur Din remakes are fabulous ideas. Once I return from Cannes, I will sit down with the team and understand how they want to remake the films. Only then will I take a call."

Besides all these projects, Mrs Bachchan is also rumoured to be teaming up with husband Abhishek Bachchan for an untitled film.

How Lee Cronin’s 'The Mummy' turns a classic adventure into a domestic horror

Highlights

  • Moves away from the adventure tone of The Mummy (1999) into possession-led horror
  • Shifts the setting from desert tombs to a family home in Albuquerque
  • Focuses on parental fear and a “returned” child rather than treasure hunting
  • Relies on body horror, sound design and shock value over spectacle
  • Critics call it bold and unsettling, but uneven in storytelling

From desert spectacle to domestic dread

For decades, The Mummy has been tied to adventure, romance and spectacle, most famously in The Mummy (1999). That version thrived on sweeping desert landscapes, archaeological intrigue and a sense of escapism.

Lee Cronin takes a sharply different route. His reworking strips away the sense of adventure and relocates the horror into the home. The story still begins in Egypt, anchored by an ancient sarcophagus, but quickly shifts to the United States, where the real tension unfolds inside a family house.
