Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who has previously played a courtesan in Umrao Jaan, may play a courtesan again in Pradeep Sarkar’s next.

Reportedly, Pradeep is making a film on 19th century courtesan-turned-actor Binodini Das aka Noti Binodini. The filmmaker took his project first to his Parineeta star Vidya Balan however, things didn’t work out and now, he wants to cast Ash in the movie.

We hear that the film is based on Binodini’s autobiography Amar Katha. Buzz has it that Aishwarya has loved the concept but will sign on the dotted line only after she gets a complete narration of the script.

Meanwhile, Aishwarya is busy with Mani Ratnam’s next, which is based on a historical Tamil novel titled Ponniyin Selvan, written by Kalki.
