One of Bollywood's most in-demand stars, Aishwarya Rai, Miss World of 1994, has agreed to play the heroine of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice in a Bollywood adaptation of the novel, the Times of India reported today (Thursday). According to the newspaper, the film will be directed by Gurinder Chadha, who helmed the British box-office hit Bend It Like Beckham earlier this year and will also star Hollywood heartthrob Joaquin Phoenix of the "Signs" fame. Chadha said that she plans to shoot the film in Britain, the U.S. and India and expressed delight that Rai had agreed to star. "You know how it is with Bollywood stars," Chadha told the Times."It is so difficult to get dates for them because they are working on so many films at the same time."
