Kodambakkam is abuzz with speculations that former Miss World Aishwarya Rai has given a 30-day call sheet for Sivaji. These speculations are not ill-founded. Getting a call sheet from Aishwarya Rai is not a big thing for Shankar. Was he not the man who introduced Ash to the tinsel town, after all? One diva who would be bothered about the developments is Shreya. Will not her role be dwarfed if Ash comes in? Some reports maintain that if Ash comes in, Shreya will be relegated to the second or third heroine status.

What about the Rajini-Shreya song that they have already shot? Well, they will convert to a dream sequence. Whatever it is, the heroines of Sivaji really keep the media on toes. Shreya, Rani Mukherjee and now, Aishwarya Rai – are they changing the story line too to accommodate these divas?

Before packing again to Hyderabad, the Sivaji team held a shoot sequence at Pachaiappas college in Chennai. To maintain secrecy, special permission was got from the college administration and the shoot was held in early morning hours – 3am to 6am. Superstar who is meant for his punctuality was there exactly at 3am. Some scenes related to him was taken inside the college campus.
