Aishwarya and Sanjay Gupta promote Jazbaa in Mumbai on September 29
Mumbai:
Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta's Jazbaa stars Irrfan Khan as the male lead, but the director says it is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who is the hero of his new movie.
"I have worked with male actors like Sanjay Dutt, John Abraham and many others, but I can tell you Aishwarya is no less. She is the hero of 'Jazbaa'," Mr Gupta said at an event here.
He also said that working with Aishwarya on sets was 'effortless'.
"I didn't have to do anything tremendously different or dramatic for the film as it was easy. While male actors did not come to set after doing homework, Aishwarya was more disciplined," he added.
Aishwarya essays an advocate in the film, and her confronts a tense situation since her daughter's life is in jeopardy at the condition that she needs to get a dreadful criminal out by defending his case.
