This is some solid good news for all Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan fans! The blue-eyed beauty is said to be collaborating with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the much-awaited magnum opus Padmavati, a leading daily has stated.

The tragic love story stars Deepika Padukone as Rani Padmini, Shahid Kapoor as Raja Rawal Ratan Singh, and Ranveer Singh as Alaudin Khilji. With such a fabulous line-up of stars, the casting just got even more exciting with Ash joining the team.

It's being reported that the gorgeous actress would be appearing in a special song sequence. Wow, isn't that exciting? After all, Ash is one of the most amazing dancers in town! But if you thought that she and Deepika would sizzle together, you're wrong because Ash wouldn't be sharing screen space with anyone.

Whenever Ash and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have come together, there's been magic on the screen. He was the one who brought out her acting chops as Nandini in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and her unparalleled beauty in Devdas, while also giving her a power-packed role in Guzarish. Her screen presence and enigma made a lasting impression on her fans.

While spilling the beans about the Ae Dil Hai Mushkil actress' part in the movie, a source told the daily, "Bhansali spoke to Ash and they both are really keen to make it work. The song will be filmed during a 15-20 day schedule, which includes rehearsals at a suburban studio. Ash also has a few dialogues.”

The film also stars Aditi Rao Hydari in a pivotal role. There's just too much to look forward to, isn't it?

The movie, based on an Indian epic, traces the obsession of Khilji for Rani Padmini, who's married to Ratan Singh. In order to escape the clutches of the evil ruler, Padmini burns herself.
