Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who started her film career with Mani Ratnam’s Tamil film ‘Iruvar’ in 1997 has come a long way. The pretty who waited and insisted to have a launch only by Mani Ratnam has said she is ‘confident’ about doing more Tamil films now after the multilingual ‘Raavan’.

At the ‘Raavan’ music launch Aishwarya stated, "I understand a bit of Tamil and speak a bit of it. For me, it is very important that I understand the meaning of my dialogues before I deliver them. I can't just mug up the dialogues. So for ‘Raavanan’ (Tamil title), I made sure I knew what I was saying and yes, I have improved a lot on the language and I am confident about doing more Tamil stuff in future."

Her confidence in Tamil films was over flowing when she told media "After ‘Raavanan’, it was like - 'Come on! Bring on Robot (her ‘Endhiran’ film with superstar Rajini)."

Hmm, looks like the diva will be the next popular crossover actress, in line with Sridevi, Jaya Prada…
