Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai had been fully cut off over the last few days thanks to Mani Ratnam’s shooting location in the jungles of Kerala that rendered the couple totally unapproachable to the world.

Jaya Bachchan fell ill last week and this left the leading pair of Mani Ratnam’s movie with no choice but to take a day off from shooting. When Abhishek left with Rakeysh Mehra to Dubai he was absolutely out of contact with dear wife Aishwarya and not only family every one in the industry could not contact the couple who seem separated from the rest of the world.



Abhishek tells, “This wouldn’t have been possible if we weren’t for the fact that we wrapped up shooting at one location and we were moving to another location. So that gave me management power.

It’s not so much the distance but the inaccessibility. Out there in the jungles me and Aishwarya were totally cut off from Mumbai and the rest of the world. That really had us worried about the family.”

Directors Sanjay Bansali and Vipul Shah got extremely irritated because they wanted to lock Aishwarya’s dates before she commits to someone else.

“I’ve been trying to contact Aishwarya for weeks. She’s totally unreachable. I’m willing to fly down wherever she is. Now if she’s moving to Ooty she’d be more accessible,” tells Vipul Shah.
