Abhi-Ash back in Filmistan after 11 years

New Delhi, Jan 27 (IANS) Bollywood actor Abhishek Bachchan got nostalgic while filming an ad with wife Aishwarya Rai at Filmistan Studios, the same location where they gave their first shot together 11 years ago when they were mere acquaintances.

'It was here on the very same floor 11 years ago that we gave our first ever shot together. The movie was 'Dhai Akshar Prem Ke'. Great memories,' Abhishek posted on his Twitter page.

'Then, I would have never dreamt that the next time we shoot here would be as husband and wife. How time flies, how lives change,' he added.

Produced by actor Dino Morea, the ad film was shot Tuesday by filmmaker Tarun Mansukhani who directed Abhishek in the hit film 'Dostana'.

'Shooting an ad with the Mrs (Aishwarya). My friend Tarun directing. Great to step in front of his camera again. He's great. And we're all set! The wife is looking her usual stunning self, and me....... Well, I'm looking like Shrek's cousin,' he joked.

Bad weather causes further delay in Raavan shoot

Looks like Mani Ratnam's Raavan is jinxed. Having such a big star-cast and having being made in two languages always gave some problem to the director. Currently, it is the bad weather at Malshej Ghats which is standing as an obstacle for the shoot.

A source from the unit reveals, "We have been going to shoot at the location every morning at 6 am. But we end up shooting not even a single scene. This is due to the bad weather and heavy rains which have disrupted our entire schedule. Abhi-Ash have been also traveling every morning to the location and end up sitting in their vanity van due to bad weather conditions."

The source continues, "Mani Ratnam is getting very stressed with the entire situation. The movie is way behind its schedule due to unwanted circumstances. Getting dates of the actor's also causes a lot of grief. Past few days have been off. Although the entire unit is going to the location for the shoot in all the muck, but no shoot is able to happen."

"Govinda who was supposed to join in this month is asked to come in later as the shoot is being postponed," adds the source.

Aishwarya Rai ill

Amitabh Bhachchan is a worried man these days. The Big B, currently in Singapore to tend to his good friend and politician

Amar Singh who is just recuperating from a surgery, had penned in his blog that his daughter in law Aishwarya Rai is down with a chest infection and flu-like symptoms.

Revealing that Ash and Abhi are back from Ooty after completing the Ravan shooting, a worried Big B wrote, “Aishwarya has taken ill and is down with chest infection and flu like symptoms.

Had a high fever yesterday but is settling down today. Its worrying to be so far away from children and not be there to look after them. Yes, they are mature and married and responsible, but children will always remain children!”
