Aishwarya Rai act in Rituparno Ghosh's flick: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the perfect combination of beauty and brains. So, it didn't surprise many when the ace filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh roped the Bollywood beauty queen in his films Chokher Bali and Raincoat which are the screen versions of the literary works of the doyens Rabindranath Tagore and O Henry respectively. Now, Rituparno is all set to sign her for his new film which is based on the book 'Devi Chaudhurani' by Bankim Chandra Chatterjee.

Aishwarya has been reportedly approached by Rituparno Ghosh during her visit to Kolkata along with her husband Abhishek Bachchan. While details of the project is yet to be confirmed, this one is surely a big deal for Aishwarya Rai who has had a mixed year so far.
