Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who made her comeback to Bollywood
with Sanjay Gupta's thriller Jazbaa, will be next seen in Omung Kumar's Sarbjit,
which is based on the life and struggles of Sarbjit Singh, an Indian farmer
convicted of spying by the Pakistani government and his sister Dalbir Kaur, who
embarked on a campaign to get her brother freed from jail.
At a latest event, Sandeep Singh, the producer of the movie
disclosed, ''Not many know this, but Aishwarya did not take a single penny for
this film and whatever money we had paid her, went into her NGO. Even Randeep
Hooda took a pay cut for this film, because the motive here was not to make
money, but to send across a message. Even Sarbjit's family did not demand any
money for the movie rights and we are quite grateful to them for this.''
Sarbjit, which also stars Richa Chadda and Darshan Kumaar,
is slated to release on May 20.
