Aishwarya back to work after five years

According to Indian media, the actor, along with her co-stars Irrfan Khan, Shabana Azmi and Anupam Kher, among others, will undergo an elaborate script-reading session for Sanjay Gupta’s next directorial venture.

The report citing an insider says, “The makers want the actors and other technicians to be comfortable with one another, and let them understand each other’s working styles before the film starts rolling.

Incidentally, the session was supposed to take place on January 9, but had to be delayed due to Irrfan’s ill health. “Yes, we would have done it on Friday, but Irrfan was bedridden, so we couldn’t. But now, we are set to go ahead,” confirms a source.
