Jayalalithaa wanted Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to play her role in biopic

Simi Garewal has released some unseen footage from her chat show, ‘Rendezvous with Simi Garewal’, which featured the late J Jayalalithaa as a guest in 1999. In the clip, the actress-turned-politician is heard saying that she considers Aishwarya Rai Bachchan the most beautiful woman in the world. Moreover, she confesses that if at all a film was made on her life, she would want Ash to be cast as her. Incidentally, in Mani Ratnam’s 1997 Tamil film, ‘Iruvar’, Ash’s character was based on Jayalalithaa.
