Is Aishwarya Rai- Bachchan set to star with Hollywood actor Russell Crowe? The grapevine is abuzz with rumours that Ash has discussed the possibility of working together in a film with Crowe. This nugget of news comes shortly after Crowe delighted Indian film lovers by stating that he wants to work in a masala Bollywood venture. Reports suggest that Crowe and his wife Danielle Spencer bonded well with Ash during the red carpet premiere of the Australian star's film, Robin Hood. Ash really seems to be going places. Already, she is busy working out dates to work with Hollywood star Sir Ben Kingsley as Mumtaz Mahal in his ambitious film, Taj. On the personal front, though, husband Abhishek Bachchan and she are suffering from pangs of loneliness as work is keeping them apart for days on end. A source close to the couple says, "Abhi and Ash are always meticulous about how to plan their professional and personal lives. However, recently, their work commitments were such that they had to travel a lot." While Aishwarya is at Cannes, Abhishek is shooting for his new film, Game in Istanbul. This is the first time after their marriage that the Ash walked the red carpet alone in Cannes.
