Bollywood :Aishwarya Rai as Umrao Jaan

[debarati]

The 80's hit Umrao Jaan, a story of a courtesan of Lucknow gave the beautiful Rekha a whole new identity. The character Umrao Jaan so beautifully portrayed by Rekha that she became the face of the character of Umrao Jaan. But now, nearly after two decades, J.P.Dutta has remade the classic and none other than the gorgeous Aishwarya Rai steps in to play the historic character.

The promo begins with picture of an old Nawabi Haveli with glittering golden text saying "19th Century Lucknow - The Age of Passion" juxtaposed on it. The video then opens with Aishwarya Rai sitting in the middle of a courtroom. Ash who plays Umrao Jaan wears a beautiful golden dress and a transparent golden chunari covering her face and her eyes closed. The camera rotates around Aishwarya who sings the introduction lines of a song with dance actions only in the form of hand moment. She is surrounded by the Nawabs on all sides and as she opens her eyes, she sees Abhishek Bachchan who is also one of the Nawabs, sitting right in front of her.

Aishwarya then gestures a Salaam welcoming the guests; Abhishek Bachchan in particular. The veil covering her face gets lifted and what you see is the new Umrao Jaan, Aishwarya Rai looking more gorgeous than ever. The actress dressed as a courtesan in a golden dress looks mesmerizing with her magnetic blue eyes hypnotizing the viewer. The 44sec teaser itself is enough for Ash to put across the message bang on to the audiences that Umrao Jaan is coming.
