Big B and Small B force Ash on directors?

I know there's such a thing as family love but this is just over-doing it.

Amitabh Bachchan seems to love the fact that his family now contains the "most beautiful woman in the world" and that he, Abhishek Bachchan, and Aishwarya Rai can act in movies together and it's a "family affair." But the almost released Sarkar Raj isn't enough for Amitabh...

Abhishek and Amitabh have been cast in Vidhu Vonod Chopra's Talisman and are apparently putting pressure on Vidhu and director Ram Madhvani to cast Aishwarya Rai in the role of the princess.

There are various reasons that Vidhu is resisting, firstly the fact that Aishwarya has already played the role of a princess in Jodha-Akbar and he had promised himself that he wouldn't work with her after she rejected previous projects of his.

"Since both the Bachchans star in this film, they want Ash to be a part of the project as well. They have even promised to charge less. But Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Ram Madhvani don't want Ash in the film, so now both Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek are putting pressure on their friend Anil Ambani. Chopra had earlier approached Aishwarya twice for a movie, which she had refused. That had disappointed him and he’d sworn never to work with her."

Talisman is a historical movie, about two warring kingdoms. Abhishek will be playing the leader of one nation and it sounds like he's already getting into character by starting little wars in Bollywood. Bad boy, where's Jaya? She needs to control her son and husband!

I cannot stand Aishwarya Rai, saw an interview of hers yesterday on I think indiatimes.comm, she is so arrogant and was so up herself when talking to the interviewer, who by the way was not asking any nasty questions. Aishwarya is so plastic and fake and this whole family thing a bit too much....
Similar type of behaviour as potrayed on US TV some time back "I ask permission from my parents before going out of the house" or something along those lines.... Well I bet she also asked permission from her parents to hang out with Salman and Vivek for years and and then to hook onto the famous family but so what she is still the sweet innocent Indian girls who ask permission from her parents for every action. Hypocrisy to the hilt!
