Aishwarya Rai to promote 'Provoked' in London

Aishwarya Rai ’s much awaited film Provoked is ready to hit the theatres soon.

Before the film’s release, Ash will go to London in the third week of September to promote the movie. She is expected there on Sept 18 to address the British media and answer questions relating to the movie and her role in it.

‘Provoked’, directed by Jagmohan Mundhra , is the true story of a Punjabi woman, Kiranjit Ahluwalia, who faced physical, sexual and mental abuse at the hands of her husband for ten years. After years of suffering, she eventually killed her husband and then was sent to jail. While Kiranjit was behind bars serving her sentence, a group of social workers called the Southhall Black Sisters organized rallies and protests following which the British judicial system reprieved Kiranjit’s punishment.

Aishwarya is keen to rope in the real Kiranjit Ahluwalia for the movie’s promotion. Kiranjit accompanied the film’s crew at its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year.

Ash has often been criticized in the media for being reluctant to promote her films. She hardly took out enough time to promote her last release Mistress Of Spices , which bombed big time at the box-office.

However, producer J. Murli Manohar says he is very happy that Ash will be coming to London to promote ‘Provoked’. He also confirms that Ash will dub for the movie’s Hindi version. The Tamil and Telugu versions would be dubbed by other artists.

However, before leaving for England to promote the film, Ash will be busy in her other assignments. She will shoot a song with Hrithik Roshan for Dhoom 2 . She will also shoot an ad campaign in Barcelona.
