Aishwarya Rai with Saif Ali Khan will be in Vishal Bhardwaj's next?

Aishwarya Rai with Saif Ali Khan will be in Vishal Bhardwaj's next?: Vishal Bhardwaj has completed working on his Saat Khoon Maaf; now the maverick director wants to fulfill his long cherished desire of working with Aishwarya Rai and has approached her for a film with Saif Ali Khan.

Though both Saif and Ash are established stars, never has a filmmaker approached them for a movie. Vishal has already worked with Saif and gave him the role of a lifetime, Langda Tyagi in Omkara, but unfortunately he couldn’t team up with Ash. It’s believed that he’s been trying to rope in Ash for the last 14 years but never a project could appeal to the actress.

As per reports, Vishal recently met Ash with the movie’s script at a Juhu bungalow where the Bachchans generally conduct business meetings. The director also had other two scripts for her, one is said to be adapted from Shakespeare’s celebrated tragedy ‘Hamlet’.

The hopeful Vishal is trying to woo the actress for various projects, at least she can say yes to one.

Priyanka Chopra in 'Dreams', Vishal Bhardwaj's flick

Priyanka Chopra's 'Dreams', Vishal Bhardwaj's flick: It has been reported that Priyanka Chopra is going to be the second female lead in Vishal Bhardwaj's love triangle film, Dreams.

Deepika Padukone has already been signed as the other female lead in the film and will have an equally important role in the film, Mumbai Mirror reports.

The film will be a love triangle between two girls and a man.

Vishal Bharadwaj, who worked with Priyanka in Kaminey, repeated her in his very next film, Saat Khoon Maaf, which is due for release on January 21, 2011.

The male lead in the film is yet to be finalized after Saif Ali Khan walked out of the film.

Mumbai Mirror also reports the real reason why Saif quit was he wanted Vishal to commit to directing a film for Saif's production house in exchange and the film's script will be chosen by Saif.

A stunned Vishal responded by saying, "How would I commit to a film whose script I have not even seen! I wouldn't mind doing the film, provided I approve of the script first."

This miffed Saif and he walked out of the film.

Interestingly Shahid had declined the film before Saif was offered the role.

Dreams is being produced by Ekta Kapoor, the first time Bhardwaj is working with her.

Filming will begin in early 2011.
