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.
