Aishwarya has emerged slimmer and sexier after her trainers put her through a weight-shedding schedule of exercise and diet for her new film Dhoom 2 with Hrithik Roshan. Apparently, Aish’s  contract stipulates that she slip into a bikini in Dhoom 2. Yash Chopra laughs off the rumour. "I don't think our contract can specify such things," he says. "But yes, the role does require Aishwarya to convey oodles of sensuality. She has asked for a couple of months to get into shape. We (at Yash Raj Films) are very clear about every character in every script and what's required of the actors. Before Dhoom, Esha Deol was specifically briefed about the look and the attitude she needed to cultivate. She readily agreed, and look at what Dhoom did to her career!"
