While nothing has been disclosed about Aishwarya’s role officially, a source close to the actress revealed to Deccan Chronicle,  “She plays a popular singer in the film and a fan of Lata. You can’t escape Lata’s influence if you’re playing a singer.”

 

Meanwhile, it is said that producer Prernaa Arora is trying to acquire the rights for a few of Lata’s famous melodies. “Apart from a few original tracks, Aishwarya will also recreate a few of Lata’s numbers. That isn’t the film’s only connection with Lata. Anil Kapoor’s daughter, who plays an aspiring singer, is named Lata,” adds the source.

In fact, when the singer was asked that how she felt about Aishwarya considering her aa role model in the film, she remarked, “It is good to hear that she is fond of my singing. I think I sang for her for the first time in Mohabbatein. The song 'Humko Humhi Se Chura Lo' was a hit. It’s a beautiful melody and Aishwarya looked lovely lip-syncing it.”

Well, we can’t wait for the beautiful actress to play a heartfelt tribute to the most wonderful singer of Bollywood.
