The buzz is the period drama will feature the likes of Hollywood's Toby Stephens (Die Another Day) and Damian Lewis. Reports also suggest the rights of the film have already been brought by Twentieth Century Fox.
Produced by Bobby Bedi (Bandit Queen, Saathiya), The Rising also stars Rani Mukerji and Aishwarya Rai.
The Rising sees Khan as freedom fighter Mangal Pandey and is scheduled to go on the floors in September.
Amrita likes it cold!
Whether it was Raveena Tandon prancing to Shaher ki ladki (Rakshak) or Aishwarya Rai's sexy turn in Ishq kamina (Shakti - The Power) or Yana Gupta swaying to Babujee dheere (Dum), item songs continue to be hot and happening.
Now it is Amrita Arora's turn to gain some mileage out of the ongoing trend. The star of Subhash Ghai's Ek Aur Ek Gyarah appears in an item song in N R Pachisia's Zameen.
