Ash, Van Damme and Zidane together

A lot has been said about our very own Aishwarya Rai’s international projects but nothing much has come out of it at least till recently. Her upcoming role in The Pink Panther alongside Steve Martin is considered her biggest role since her ‘not so’ meaty part in the epic film The Last Legion, where her role as a warrior opposite Colin Firth, did not make an impact at the box office internationally and is yet to hit Indian screens.

Now this former Miss World is all set to feature in one of the most expensive French films yet, where she plays a character etched out especially for her and will be the only female actor in the cast. This film, part of the Asterix series titled Asterix at The Olympic Games will have some of France and Hollywood’s biggies like Jean Claude Van Damme, Gerard Depardieu and French football legend Zenadine Zidane. Finally, a movie that will give her a chance to showcase her histrionics to a larger audience.
