Chennai: They say good acting is all about perfect timing. So when actor Aishwarya Rai made a rare appearance in Chennai to inaugurate the first Longines watch boutique in the country, we asked her what else defines the relationship between time and an actor.
“Timing is crucial. Our every minute is defined by it. It’s very, very precious. I call time a very interesting ally, a friend and a challenger because we constantly try to keep up with it, fight it, embrace it and run with it. Evidently we are defined by it,” she says.
On the career front, Aishwarya is waiting with bated breath for her next big release, Umrao Jaan.
“The last I saw of it was during dubbing. I’m still waiting for the final print. I’m looking forward to it as you are. It was a pleasure working for the project. J P Dutta (director) is earnest in his ventures and it’s a film with Abhishek and Shabana Azmi.
Aishwarya is currently shooting for Mani Ratnam's Guru in Madurai. She had made her big screen debut in the filmmaker's Irruvar in 1997, so has she matured as an actress since then?
“That's something you have to ask him. I'm glad that I got to act with my guru Mani Ratnam. He’s a wonderful storyteller and a master technician,” she says.
But Umrao Jaan and Guru apart, Aishwarya swears that the surprise of the year will be Dhoom 2.
“It's contemporary, racy and movie of the times. It's new to see me in this genre and that's precisely why I chose to do it.
With a power-packed line up for the year-end, this former Miss World surely seems to be on a roll.
