Former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is in demand now as she is already roped in for 'Fanney Khan' opposite Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao. Apart from it, the actress will be seen in a double role in the remake of 'Raat aur Din' (1967). Now, Ash is in talks for her third project as well.

She is approached by Prernaa Arora's production house for a movie titled 'Jasmine'. It is a film based on surrogacy and is set to be shot in Gujarat and Pushkar in Rajasthan, reports Mumbai Mirror. The film will be co-produced by Toilet: Ek Prem Katha director Shree Narayan Singh and helmed by Siddharth and Garima, who had earlier scripted Toilet and an upcoming social drama, 'Batti Gul Meter Chalu'. 

Confirming the news, Shree Narayan Singh told the daily: "It is inspired by a real-life story of a woman in Gujarat who doesn't want to have children but decides to become a surrogate mother for someone else. After a point, she gets attached to the child and wants the child back."

Speaking about the casting of the film, Prernaa said, "We would love to have her Aishwarya but it will depend on her dates."
