Aishwarya Rai is the new dream girl

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will play Dream Girl in Sriram Raghavan's film of that title. The epithet of Dream Girl was so far reserved only for Hema Malini.

The former Miss World seems more deserving of the crown of being the Dream Girl amongst the actress of the new millennium.

Sriram, who is busy with Agent Vinod at the moment, will work on this project as soon as he gets free. Abhishek's buddy Rohan Sippy is the producer of the film. John Abraham comes together with Aishwarya for the first time, a pairing that he has been looking forward to ever since she opted out of Dostana. Another film titled Happy New Year with John and Aishwarya was never made.

Rohan confirms, "It's too early to reveal the cast. The project is tentatively called Dream Girl." When asked about Aishwarya, Rohan reveals. "Well, if anyone in the current lot of actors can play this role, it is Aishwarya. Sriram has her and John in mind." One wondershow Hema the original Dream Girl feels about her new screen avatar. When asked who after her could be considered the Dream Girl, Hema promptly replied Aishwarya.
