Last seen in Guzaarish, actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gave her acting career a backseat after delivering her baby girl in 2011.

However, the actress is now keen on making a comeback. While reports on her appearing in Sanjay Gupta's upcoming film Jazbaa was unclear, the film-maker took to twitter to announce his official statement. "Yes guys it's true. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will play the dynamic female lead in my action/thriller Jazbaa," he posted.

Sanjay Gupta is known for his critically acclaimed film Shootout At Wadala and also Kante, for which he was nominated at the Filmfare Awards for the Best Director.

This is the first time that the two are working together.
