Aishwarya & Bipasha in Ben Kingsley’s ‘Taj Mahal’
September 27th, 2007 by admin
Both Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu will be part of Sir Ben Kingsley magnum opus Taj Mahal. While Aishwarya will play the role of Shah Jahan’s love Mumtaz Mahal, Bipasha Basu will play his eldest daughter Jahanara Begum.
Sir Ben Kingsley will be Shah Jahan.
Earlier reports suggesting that Aishwarya Rai had been picked to play the role Mumtaz over Bipasha Basu are incorrect.
“Aishwarya is and has always been Mumtaz,” Simone Sheffield, who is co-producing the film with Ben Kingsley and Valerie Hoffman, told Sawf News.
The rest of the cast will be finalized once the script, which is still under works, is completed. However, it will be drawn entirely from the pool of talent available in India.”Why bring sand to the beach,” says Simone. “The India pool of talented actors is absolutely enormous.”Tentatively, the film has been budgeted at $30 million. A final budget will be drawn once the script is finalized and the production elements are in place.”We want to begin filming in 2008 based on the schedule of cast and director,” Simone adds.
