CONTROVERSY between Star Aishwarya Rai and Brad Pitt as she refused to act in a Hollywood film with him because she promised “He used to make me… Read more

Aishwarya Rai was a movie star in India when she started getting many international film offers.

Hollywood was completely in awe of Aishwarya after her film Devdas was screened at Cannes Film Festival and she was starting to explore a career in the West.

It was during this time that the actor was offered a significant part in Brad Pitt-starrer Troy.

Aishwarya had a significant part in the film but it wasn’t the kind of role that needed 6-9 months, but that was the amount of time that was required from her by the producers.

In an earlier chat with SCREEN, Aishwarya recalled this incident and said that the makers expected her to block 6-9 months off from her calendar even though her part wasn’t as long.

She shared that at the time she didn’t know that Hollywood functioned in this manner as they would often block out a larger chunk of time so they could insure their project and the actors associated with it.

“They wanted me to lock off 6-9 months because it was a huge film,” she said.
