If reports are to be believed, Aishwarya may have said yes to Mani Ratnam's next. And this bit of info was let out by none other than Mani Ratnam's wife Suhasini in an interview to a south Indian channel.

She further went on to add that the film's greatly inspired by the action-oacked Hollywood flicks Mission Impossible and The Bourne Identity. In other words, it's an espionage-thriller starring Aishwarya Rai in the lead alongside Nagarjuna and Mahesh Babu.

Adding to the cast would be actor Shruti Haasan, and another Pakistani actress. And where there's Ratnam, there's A R Rahman, the music genius who'll be responsible for the film's music, reports add.

It has also been heard that Ash is also trying to make up her mind about renowned ad man Prahlad Kakkar's debut film. Here she may star with hubby Abhishek Bachchan, claim reports.
