In
2017,
former
actress
and
talk
show
host,
Simi
Garewal
released
a
few
unseen
snippets
from
her
Rendezvous
with
the
late
Iron
Lady
Dr.
J
Jayalalithaa.
However
what
caught
our
attention
was
that
in
one
of
the
snippets,
Amma
disclosed
that
not
only
does
she
find
Aishwarya
to
be
the
most
beautiful
woman
in
the
world,
but
she
would
also
want
Ash
to
play
her
if
there
is
a
film
made
about
her
life.
Jayalalitha
had
said,
"I
think
Aishwarya
Rai
would
be
very
suitable
to
play
me
in
my
younger
days.
But
then
to
play
me
as
I
am
now
or
I
am
likely
to
be
in
the
future,
I
think
it
would
be
a
little
difficult.'
Incidentally,
Aishwarya's
first
film
role
was
based
on
Jayalalithaa,
in
the
national-award-winning
film
Iruvar,
helmed
by
Mani
Ratnam.

Well,
we
guess
it
would
be
quite
amazing
to
watch
Ash
portray
such
a
powerful
character
on
the
silver
screen.
However,
the
question
arises
that
which
director
would
do
complete
justice
to
the
subject?
Do
let
us
know
your
thoughts.
Talking

Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan

last
seen

Rao.
