Aishwarya
Rai apparently had been toying with the idea of turning producer for a while now.
Her maiden venture Dil Ka Rishta, directed by Naresh Malhota and written by mother Vrinda Rai, is co-produced by her brother Aditya and Shabbir Boxwala.
The film stars Arjun Rampal, Priyanshu Chatterjee, Lisa Ray, Raakhee, Paresh Rawal and herself. Almost 50 per cent complete, major portions of the film have been shot in South Africa. It is slated for release by the end of this year.
