After playing Jodha Bai for ‘Jodha Akbar’ and Mumtaz for Sir Ben Kinsley’s ‘Taj Mahal’, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan might just do the role of Yashodhara- wife of Gautam Buddha, in an NRI’s film. Pan Nalin has been assured by Ash that she is keen to do the role.

Ash apparently heard the story and discussed the project at length with Pan. The high point of the meeting is that when Ash asked Pan who will play Buddha, Pan was quick to reply.

“I said Abhishek Bachchan, isn’t he perfect for the role? Ash was zapped and told me to get in touch with her husband who is in Jaipur. My only concern is that Abhishek will have to Shave off his head,” the film-maker said.
