Trimmed Aishwarya Rai to act with Abhishek in comeback film

Bollywood diva Aishwarya Rai has made no secret that she is reading scripts for her return on screen.

After all the speculations about her comeback, it is now confirmed that the actress' comeback movie will have her husband Abhishek Bachchan.

The real-life couple is teaming up for producer Gaurang Doshi's venture 'Happy Anniversary'.

Fans knew Ash's return was imminent, but was little concerned about those extra pounds she is carrying one and half years after pregnancy.

Now we hear that the actress is working hard on getting back to her original size; after all she has some hard task ahead.

The film's producer says she will be back on the big screen in the same avatar as seen in 'Dhoom 2'.

Aishwarya's grunge look and size zero in that hit action-thriller became a rage at that time.

Aishwarya has already started working out rigorously to shed the post-partum fat she gained after the birth of their first baby Aaradhya.

Interestingly, Abhishek and Aishwarya will play husband and wife in this film which will be directed by ad filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar.

Doshi merits the script which helped him convince the two actors. Besides that, he has a good relationship with the Bachchan family and the director has also known Aishwarya for the longest time.

Some of the biggest filmmakers and producers in the country have been trying to ensure that former Miss World turned actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan returns to the silver screen with their project.

The film is expected to go on the floor in early 2014.

Doshi has in the past produced films such as 'Aankhen' (starring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Arjun Rampal), 'Deewar' (Amitabh Bachchan, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt) and 'Bawandar' (Nandita Das).
