And she's back! First look of Aishwarya Rai's Jazbaa sets Twitter on fire

The first look of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s much-awaited comeback film Jazbaa was unveiled on Twitter on 19 May. The poster, featuring only the Bollywood star, was tweeted by filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, and within minutes of the release, Jazbaa took Twitter by storm. It was the top trend on Twitter in India as this was being written and was trending worldwide as well. [caption id=“attachment_2252320” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  The Jazbaa poster.

Jazbaa is her comeback vehicle which is said to be action-drama directed by Sanjay Gupta of Shootout at Wadala fame. The poster shows a disheveled Bachchan squatting on the ground and covered with grime against a background of city high-rises. She appears to have a lost and disillusioned expression on her face as she stares at something in despair. But we aren’t complaining, as she seems to have more facial expression in this one poster, than she has in all her cosmetic brand ads. On first glance, it looks to be a dark and hard-hitting film and we can’t wait to see the full trailer to see if Jazbaa will be more like Gupta’s Shootout series or will it be another Musafir. Jazbaa began filming earlier this year and is set for an October release. A short trailer of the film, which also stars Irrfan Khan, Shabana Azmi and Anupam Kher in supporting roles, will be released at the Cannes Film Festival.

HERE IT IS!
