She might have lost out on some vital projects like Madhur Bhandarkar's 'Heroine' and Raj Kumar Santoshi's 'Ladies and Gentlemen' with hubby Abhishek Bachchan but she certainly hasn't lost all. For everyone who was assuming that the 'pregnant' pause will bring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's career to halt, here's some surprising news.

The light eyed actress has signed a film with production biggie 'Viacom 18'. The producers of the highly acclaimed production house confirmed that they have signed to-be mom, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, for their film that will go on the floors in late 2012.

Reportedly Aishwarya was discussing finer details of few scripts with them since the last few months. She had liked couple of scripts which she has already shortlisted. The makers will now be moving ahead with the selected scripts and start polishing the script for further reading. After this, they will be selecting the best one that will have Ash as lead, post her delivery.
