It is believed that Scorsese has been admiring the light-eyed damsel for a while now. A source said, “The two have had discussions before, the meeting in Cannes gave them just the excuse to bond over films, India and Bollywood.”
Martin Scorsese, whose World Cinema Foundation is fixing the damaged film classics, featured his latest piece, Lucino Viscomti’s ‘II Gattapardo’ at Cannes to select viewers, including Aishwarya Rai. Post the film screening, Scorsese personally invited the vivacious actress over dinner for earnest parleys.
The cult American filmmaker, who is restoring Uday Shankar’s classic ‘Kalpana’, discussed his future plans with Aishwarya. Speaking about Aishwarya and Scorsese, a source said, “Scorsese has admired Aishwarya’s work from the time he saw her in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Devdas.’ He has expressed a keen desire to cast her in his next film, an offer that she is inclined to accept.”
