Aishwarya on the sets of "Pink Panther2"

ANI is reporting that former Miss Universe and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai may appear in a Pink Panther sequel. She will star with actor Steve Martin. Others actors in the Pink Panther 2 movie are Andy Garcia, John Cleese and Alfred Molina.

Columbia Pictures and MGM's will produce and distribute The Pink Panther 2.

In some ways, it is perplexing. Would the addition of Aishwarya Rai add to or detract from the Pink Panther sequel? We are not sure.

It is a comedy movie, and the women in the movie are often dumb bimbos or other stereotypical characters - which is great fun. And while they do not lose their closes often in the wind or by accident, there is enough suggestive sexual humour - and will they avoid all that with the supposedly Indian-culture-upholding Aishwarya?

Those of you who have been following the career of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would remember that her husband, Abhishek Bachchan's family frowned upon ther smooch scene with Hritik Roshan in the superhit Bollywood movie Dhoom-2.

Guess we will have to wait and see if it all is true, right? We shall definitely keep you updated on any further news on Pink Panther 2.
