Sources close to director Sam Mendes have hinted that the rumors were fuelled because producers had been hunting for shooting locations in India, as the next Bond film is set in our backyard. And now, buzz is there that our Bachchan bahu is all set to play the Bond girl in the same.
The producers wanted an Indian girl for the role of the bond girl but also made sure that the girl should have a known face. And which Indian could have been better option than Ash, who was once described as the most beautiful woman in the world.
