Bollywood’s hot couple Abhishek Bachchan and his wife
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will come together after seven years in a film, produced
by Shailesh R Singh (Tanu Weds Manu, Aligarh and Simran among other films). The
movie will be directed by a debutant director and it will see Aishwarya and
Abhishek coming together on screen after Raavan (2010). They will play the role
of IPS officers who are married to each other. Last time they had essayed a
married couple was in Guru (2007).
A close source reveals, “The film is based against the
backdrop of Uttar Pradesh politics, based on a true story and about two IPS
officers, who are husband and wife. It’s their love story and journey. Abhishek
has liked the story and given his nod to the film though he is yet to sign the contract.
Aishwarya Rai has been approached for the female lead and will be hearing a
story narration soon. She has expressed interest in the story but as Aishwarya
takes time on her scripts the film is on hold. The producers have been waiting
to give her a story narration for almost two months. Shailesh’s first choice is
Aishwarya as he thinks she will be wonderful in the film. Both the roles have
equal weight and are performance-oriented.”
The source adds that the long wait made Shailesh and his
team think that Aishwarya wasn’t interested. “They have to start shooting from
December so the creative and production team wanted to approach another actress
but Ash has been traveling too; just last week she finally gave them a date to
hear their script.”
Are you planning to make a movie with Abhishek Bachchan?
Shailesh R Singh reveals, “Yes I have approached Abhishek and he has shown
interest in the film. We are discussing with Aishwarya’s team and will be
giving her a narration soon. She has conveyed to us that she’s interested in
meeting us and hearing the story. I am planning to give Aishwarya a narration
soon. I would definitely love to make a film with Abhishek. I had wanted to
work with Abhishek for a long time but we got a good story now. Abhishek and I
are both excited about the story. He is a superb human being and a great actor.
The subject is strong and befitting his persona. I would love to work with
Aishwarya in this film too as she suits the role. We cast actors in films
keeping in perspective whether the roles suit them or not. I like to cast the
actor according to the character.”
