After the hot and sensational pairing of Vidya Balan and Emraan Hashmi in the movie 'The Dirty Picture', the pair is once again set to sizzle on screen. The teo have been paired for the upcoming movie 'Ghanchakkar'.

The movie will be directed by UTV Motion Pictures and will be a comic thriller. The shooting of the movie is expected to begin in the month of August 2012 and will be directed by Rajkumar Gupta who worked with Vidya in the movie 'No One Killed Jessica'.

Gupta while talking about the project said that it is one of his best projects till date and revealed that a lot of thought went through behind the casting the two actors in the movie. The director said that he has always visualized certain actors for the roles and this is the first time he will be working with Emraan.

Gupta also expressed that Emraan is capable of doing full justice to the role. The director said that as he has earlier worked with Vidya, she was always his first choice. 'Ghanchakkar' is a story about Sanju an ex conman, who has a taste of finer things in life.

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai after giving birth to a baby girl will soon be returning to the silver screens. Reports say that Ash will be returning to movies with Sriram Raghavan's 'Happy Birthday'.

The movie 'Happy Birthday' is a sci-fi movie that has been due for a long time. Raghavan is at present busy with the post production of 'Agent Vinod' and has given ample time for the movie before it takes off.

Earlier, the movie was suppose to have the cast of Aishwarya Rai and John Abraham. However, it depends if Ash finds the script interesting enough as it sounded then.

Till date nothing has been finalized and it has been long since the actress has returned to the silver screens. Aishwarya had also walked out of Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Heroine' due to her pregnancy and has been busy since the birth of Beti B. Now that Ash is all set to return, the actress will certainly be very particular about the banner, director , co-stars and the canvas.
