Famous real life couple of Bollywood family, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be seen sharing screen space on silver screen eight years after Raavan (2010).
Both of them were presented script of ‘Gulab Jamun’ by director Anurag Kashyup around one and a half years ago, which, after thoroughly going through, was very much admired by Aishwarya, however Abhishek could not give it a go ahead then.
Now, Ash has confirmed in an interview to Mid Day that both of them have agreed to do the movie.
“AB [Abhishek] and I have agreed to do Gulab Jamun. I told AB that he needs to decide what he wants to do after Manmarziyan,” she said
“We had agreed on the idea earlier.
However, it was around the same time that AB decided to take time-out. After the hiatus, he returned with Manmarziyan, which coincidentally is directed by Anurag Kashyap. That’s when the chatter around Gulab Jamun began again, and we finally came on board. It is a beautiful script, and we fit the narrative perfectly.”
Aishwarya said: “We have got many scripts, and at times, we got tempted too. But then, we discuss it out loud. We take stock and say, ‘Does it excite us?’ Why should marriage define our choices? Shouldn’t we be actually approaching the story as individual actors?”
Aishwarya’s Fanney Khan is set to release in which she plays a pop star Baby Singh’s role, while Abhishek has just finished shooting for Manmarziyan.
