Aish buys rights of hollywood movies.

Actress Aishwarya Rai's international career is poised for a huge leap with the release of her movie "Mistress of Spices" on April 14 and two more films slated for this year even as she ventures into film distribution by acquiring the rights of her film "The Last Legion".
"Mistress of Spices", directed by Paul Berges, husband of director Gurinder Chaddha of "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Bride and Prejudice" fame, has been slated for release on April 14, both in India and UK," Rai's Secretary Harii Singh, told PTI here on Tuesday.

Rai has also acquired the distribution rights for her another Hollywood venture, 'The Last Legion', directed by Doug Lefler and starring Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley. "She has acquired rights for the film and is planning to look at distribution as a business idea. But it is too early to say how many such rights she will acquire. She felt 'The Last Legion' was a good film and that is why she took the decision," Singh said. "The Last Legion' is still under production and the first rushes of the film were "promising", Singh said.

The third film 'Provoked', also featuring actress Nandita Das, is also slated for commercial release internationally this year, thus making it an important year for Rai in Hollywood.
