Aishwarya Was Will Smith’s First Choice For Hancock

Will Smith said that Aishwarya Rai was his first choice for Hancock over Oscar winning Charlize Theron but it did not work out for various understandable reasons.

Smith is self admittedly a great fan of the Indian actress. He said that he was not disheartened and believed that they will share a good on screen chemistry.

“I would love to work with Aishwarya. She is gorgeous. I had even offered her roles with me. In fact for ‘Hancock’ also she was my first preference over Charlize,” he told PTI in an e-mail interview.

He is hopeful of working with Aishwarya in future.

“I received denials all the times, may be she had some justified problems. But of course, I will do anything to work with Aishwarya,” said Smith.

Smith, whom the People magazine named one of the 10 sexiest men on earth, said that he loves the dances and songs of Indian films, and he is astounded by the energy level of the actors here. He said that he loves Bollywood movies and plans to act in one someday. He has even spoken to Karan Johar in this regard.

The Independence Day actor has a huge fan following in Tamil Nadu. His Hancock released all over Tamil Nadu today with a very grand opening to packed houses. The eccentricity of Will Smith is a big hit with Tamil audiences. Source
