Indiana Jones takes over Cannes! While the reaction at moment is mostly mixed, I am very excited to see how this film pans out.It has been 19 years that the world has waited for his return, and at the age of 65 people wonder how well Harrison Ford can pull off this new Indy adventure. Many speculate that Shia Labeauf will be playing his son destined to take over the throne. Regardless of reviews, the high anticipation for this film will most definitely bring out the crowds to the theaters.
Aishwarya and husband Abhishek attend the most prestigious event in world cinema in Cannes. Since receiving acclaim for her role in Devdas in 2002 she has been a regular at this film festival and also won her a coveted spot as a member of the jury.
“The designers are so excited and so generous and so creative and they come up with so many ideas that you actually get spoiled for choice. It gets very, very difficult to be able to zero in and decide on which one to wear,” says Aishwarya.
In her upcoming release Sarkar Raj, the beautiful lady stars opposite hubby Abhishek and father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.
“I have fantastic in-laws and I think that’s when a girl’s blessed. When you don’t feel you’ve gone to a new home or a foreign home. When you feel as comfortable with them as your parents and the similar friendship, it’s great,” says the beautiful actress.
Aishwarya’s next english language release is Pink Panther 2 in February 2009. The film also stars Steve Martin, Jean Reno and Andy Garcia. (Really? They are making a sequel to that crappy movie?)
Here are pictures of her attending the premiere of “Vicky Cristina Barcelona”
