    Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has signed a Mani Ratnam film. The actress has worked with one of the most revered filmmakers thrice in—Iruvar, Guru and Raavan. The report quotes Aishwarya saying in a Facetime interview from Cannes that she took a break from work on purpose as wanted to be with her family.
     
     
     
    She said, “I took a break for the past five months because of personal reasons. I’m glad I did. It meant a lot for me personally so I didn’t have any professional meetings. I started last week and I liked two subjects already. So, as and when we feel the need and the time is right, we will share the news with you. But I have just started listening to scripts. Until then, I had taken time off for work for my family, especially for my mother.”
     
     
    The report further quotes a source as saying, “Yes, Ash and Mani are doing a film together. It’s a romantic drama, which will be a bilingual and will be made in Hindi and Tamil. The two were in talks for a film for years and it’s finally happening.”
     
    However, no official statement has been made either by the actress or by the director as yet.
