If grapevine is to be believed, Ash who’s playing criminology expert in the film will turn out to be actually the person behind the theft of Pink Panther diamond.

When asked about her role, Aishwarya Rai says,” I play Sonia, a writer and authority on the Tornado who steals valuable artifacts from all over the world. And I am an essential part of the dream team who is trying to find the Tornado. But at the same time while Sonia is not a detective per se, she plays a very essential element and an almost important part of the dream team trying to unravel the mystery of the missing Pink Panther and trying to nail The Tornado.”

According to her the highlight of the film is Steve Martin as well as its ensemble cast.




“Apart from Steve Martin who plays Inspector Clouseau, I think what’s the best part of this particular movie is this fantastic ensemble in terms of the kind of cast that’s come together to create these various different characters. I think it was a wonderful idea to come up with a dream team, so you’ve actually pulled in characters from different parts of the world – you’ve got all these different nationalities – so you pick it up as the world’s getting smaller,” she says.
