Aishwarya will attend IIFA
For all those who thought that Aishwarya Rai would not make it to the IIFA Awards because she is busy shooting for Mani Ratnam’s ‘Guru’ in Chennai, here’s good news. Ash will be attending the world premiere of ‘Provoked’ in Dubai.
Of course, getting permission from director Ratnam wasn’t easy, especially as certain foreign technicians had been specially flown down to work on the film at the time. Jagmohan Mundhra, director of ‘Provoked’, had eagerly wanted his heroine to attend the premiere. Ash too wanted to attend the event and did not want to miss this international platform, where she could promote ‘Provoked’, especially after being accused for not promoting her earlier film ‘Mistress of Spices’
Her manger, Harii Singh informs, “She genuinely could not promote ‘Mistress Of Spices’ because she was shooting in Badami at the time.” This time, however, after Wizcraft International Entertainment Private Ltd (IIFA organisers) requested her to perform and be present for the IIFA in Dubai, Ash too requested Ratnam.
The director gave in this time and has allowed her to attend IIFA on June 15 and 16. But as Ash needed to be present in Dubai on June 14 when ‘Provoked’ would be premiered, she decided not to perform at the awards’ night. Instead, she will only attend the premiere of ‘Provoked’. Singh confirms, “Ash will be attending the premiere of ‘Provoked’ because she is professionally committed. She will fly from Chennai in the morning and return to Chennai in the night.” Ash will resume shooting for Guru, the next day, forfeiting a huge fee that a star of her calibre would have got from performing at the IIFA.
