Aishwarya's next Hollywood project: Singularity

The long-in-gestation Aishwarya Bachchan film Singularity is finally set to get off the ground by early next year.

Oscar-winning director Roland Joffé, best known in India as the man who helmed City of Joy, will direct the 35-million-dollar historical drama. Large portions of the movie are scheduled to be shot at locations in India.

Joffé, whose credits include modern classic like The Killing Fields and The Mission, has roped in legendary Italian cinematographer Vittorio Storaro to shoot Singularity.

Singularity is expected to feature Hollywood star Brendan Fraser opposite Aishwarya though no final word is available at the moment on the rest of the cast.
