Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai

Aishwarya Rai has been ignored completely in the trailers and posters for new flick, The Pink Panther.

This is despite the Bolly beauty starring in major scenes of the film.

The Steve Martin film, which is due to hit cinemas after a considerable delay, shows no signs of it starring Bollywood's most bankable star, Aishwarya Rai.

A source reveals, "There has been considerable delay in the film’s release. Earlier this year, the writer’s strike hampered the film’s progress. Also, the studio executives are fighting a battle against time to draw a campaign strategy that does justice to the film."

"Between all this, it will be interesting to see how much of Ash’s role is retained and if she will play any part in the film’s promotion or not."
