Aishwarya Rai goes grey

No, the beauty is not trying on a grey character, but actually will be seen in grey hair in Vipul Shah’s ‘Action Replay’.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be donning the character of an old lady in this time travel saga. The Husn ki Malika would be transformed into an aged woman by Hollywood make-up stylist Paul Pattison who had earlier worked over the looks of Mel Gibson (Braveheart) and Tom Cruise (Mission Impossible).

This Akshay Kumar starrer is expected to hit the screens in April 2010 and the film’s team are busy wrapping up the project.

Now, while her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan went on to play a 13-year-old child in ‘Paa’, Aish seem to just follow his steps by getting into a role opposite to her age… As the grapevines are buzzing over these titbits, it would be fair to remember ‘Umrao Jaan’ where Aishwarya had almost tried the aged role. However, the actress’s old character was partially behind a curtain in most parts where she speaks of her young days in the film.
