Like all the other Indian actors in the past, Indian actress
Aishwarya Rai too is finding the going tough in Hollywood.
Unlike the others, she has candidly admitted that, "People
overseas are aware of me, but haven't seen enough of my
work to be able to perceive me as anything but relatively
new to their world," Rai was quoted as saying in
the December issue of Filmfare magazine.
The former Miss Universe recently completed her part of
work in "The Last Legion," a Hollywood epic
about a Roman warrior, played by Colin Firth, who must
protect a young Caesar as the Roman Empire crumbles. Ash
is not the lead in the movie and has settled for a less
important role "because you want to be visibile”
to the people who count.
Last year, the 32-year-old Rai starred in "Bride
& Prejudice," her first English-language film.
"It's a tightrope you are walking and it's your decision
which side you want to dip and which way you want to go,"
she said.
Shot in Slovakia, "The Last Legion" also stars
Ben Kingsley and is scheduled to be released next year.
