Aishwarya Rai's Hollywood career seems to be looking up. The actress has just signed MGM's Pink Panther 2. The actress will complete the shoot of Sarkar Raj and then fly off to Europe for the Pink Panther sequel.

This puts to rest all rumours of the stork visiting the Bachchan household. Meanwhile, Pink Panther will be Aishwarya's third Hollywood venture. The film will star Andy Gracia and Alfred Molina. The actress has a very tight schedule ahead of her. She has just finished dubbing for Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar and is currently shooting for Ram Gopal Varma's Sarkar Raj, which she should wrap up by the end of the month, before flying off to complete her Hollywood assignment. Ash has always believed in working on one or two projects at a time. Once she completes Pink Panther 2, she will be start work on another film by January. She already has 16 producers waiting to sign her and has been listening to narrations. What has been confirmed, however, is that Ash will begin shooting for a film starring Abhishek Bachchan, to be directed by Tarun Mansukhani for Karan Johar's Dharma Productions early next year. So there really is no time for the Bachchan bahu to have a baby right now.
