Dana LaVoix

She made it to the 2014 Cannes Film Fes­ti­val, and wowed the crowds as she usu­al­ly does, but seems that Aish­warya Rai Bachchan's out­fit of choice was not orig­i­nal.

The same gold strap­less Rober­to Cav­al­li gown was worn re­cent­ly by Broad­way star Kristin Chenoweth at this year's Acad­e­my Awards.

Re­gard­less, by all re­ports, Aish­warya looked gor­geous and had heads turn­ing. And if the lat­est sto­ries are any­thing to go by, it seems the Bol­ly­wood love­ly will soon be im­i­tat­ing an­oth­er Hol­ly­wood ac­tress in her come­back film, Jazbaa.

San­jay Gup­ta, who di­rects the film, took in­spi­ra­tion from Salt, which saw An­geli­na Jolie in some very in­tense ac­tion scenes, but how will Mrs Bachchan fare?

Well, some peo­ple, in­clud­ing her hus­band Ab­hishek, think she will be great; he was ac­tu­al­ly the per­son who ini­tial­ly heard of the film and en­cour­aged his wife to do it. Famed beau­ty, moth­er, and soon to be stunt woman? Well, we'll see.

Bol­ly­wood has gone box­ing-crazy it seems. Priyan­ka Chopra plays Mary Kom in a biopic, Son­akshi Sin­ha's Hol­i­day, which is ap­par­ent­ly based on Laila Ali (for­mer heavy­weight cham­pi­on Muhammed Ali's daugh­ter) and shows the ac­tress in box­ing gear on the posters, and now it's Ran­bir Kapoor who is pick­ing up the gloves.

Yes, you read right. He plays a street fight­er in his next movie Bom­bay Vel­vet and in ad­di­tion to box­ing, he al­so trained in mar­tial arts. His sched­ule in­volves di­et­ing and heavy train­ing in the night with a box­ing train­er who was flown in from Kenya.

Ran­bir worked with the train­er for about four months in prepa­ra­tion for this role, and stayed lean for a con­sis­tent look while shoot­ing.

All we can say is wow, #Bol­lyTalks can't wait to see the fi­nal prod­uct!
