The team started shooting in thailand and now we hear from reports that aishwarya Rai is yet to confirm her role and she hasn't signed the dotted line yet. Former miss world and Bachchan family princess aishwarya Rai, who was last seen in the disastrous outing Fanney Khan with anil kapoor and rajkummar rao, will soon be seen in silver screens of tamil Nadu as well. Let's wait for the official word soon.
