Aishwarya Rai Bachchan |
Italian historian and author of about 17 historical novels, Valerio Massimo Manfredi has a few objectionable words for Bollywood queen Aishwarya Rai.
For those who do not know, Aishwarya Rai along with Colin Firth and Ben Kingsley, acted in the movie ‘The Last Legion’, which is adapted from Manfredi’s own book.
Talking to a news agency, Manfredi told, “My character of the leading lady was totally different. She was from a village but Aishwarya was totally different. She was the lover of the protagonist…but she acted as if the movie was for kids,” Manfredi revealed.
In love with Aishwarya Rai’s eyes, Manfredi regretted the lack of expression of love in them.
“She has such strong expressive and beautiful eyes. Some little expression of love would have made the film more different,” Manfredi added.
“I have noticed that everybody who has not read the book liked the film and those who read the book did not like the movie. This is very usual because they are two different kinds of expression. While the book uses words, cinema uses images,”
Manfredi was in India to launch the Indian editions of his popular Alexander trilogy.
