I have no idea of shifting to Hollywood: Aishwarya

I have no idea of shifting to Hollywood, says Aishwarya
Lucknow: Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai, who is all set to appear in two Hollywood productions, today (Aug 10, 2004) rejected suggestions of shifting from Indian film industry and said she is likely to star in two more films with her friend Vivek Oberoi.

"I had not asked for roles in Hollywood and other English films and my focus is still very much in Mumbai," Rai, who was in Lucknow on a promotional tour of her forthcoming film "Kyon Ho Gaya Na" starring Vivek, told sources.

There had never been any feelers to foreign filmmakers from my side, she said, adding that the screening of "Devdas" at the Cannes film festival evoked interest and she was offered some scripts and she just gave them a chance.

"So far, I have done only one English film 'Bride and Prejudice' which is to be released later this year besides two other foreign films which will go on floors next year," she said, adding that her foray into Hollywood cinema was like the one she had with Bengali and Tamil film industry. 'Sunday Times' magazine of London had on August 2 reported that Rai was all set to make her debut in Hollywood with her signing opposite Meryl Streep in "Chaos", shooting for which will start later this year.

She will also appear in Oscar-nominated director Ronald Joffe's "Singularity", a romantic drama.
