After her gripping sword fighting act with Hrithik Roshan in Ashutosh Gowarikar’s Jodhaa Akbar, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is all set to karate chop South superstar Rajnikanth in her forthcoming sci-fi film Endhiran.
Ash has enrolled herself into a karate coaching class to prepare her body to pull off some slick action moves. She’s all set to lock horns with her 60 plus, yet going strong co-star as a particular scene will have the duo fighting against each other. Ash although isn’t oblivious to such risky stunts as she did show her dare devilry in Dhoom: 2 where she played the consort of a thief (Hrithik Roshan as A) and also in The Last Legion for which she had to learn sword fighting.The scene in Endhiran has Rajnikanth and Aishwarya engaged in a karate fight sequence. Rajnikanth plays Ash's teacher here and he is shown as someone who takes on the mantle to train his beloved (Ash) and others in the martial art form, so that they can protect themselves against evil forces. The sequence later has a remarkable fight sequence between the two.
A source confirmed, "A veteran stuntman in the South, Ramesh has been training many stars in karate for the past 30 years. He also owns a Japan Shito-Ryu karate school and it is here that Ash has enrolled herself to learn this ancient martial arts. The film requires her to strain her muscles in some scenes and exhibit her karate skills. She also wants to be super fit as the film supposedly will show her doing some power stunts."
Well it seems like Aishwarya is all ready to kick some mean behind to prove that she’s still going strong…
