Abbas-Mustan to direct Big B?

Mumbai, Aug 20 (IANS) Director duo Abbas-Mustan may soon direct Amitabh Bachchan in a film for the first time and the project could be pushed ahead of Abhishek-starrer 'The Italian Job'.

The film with Big B would be a hard-hitting socially-relevant subject written by Nishikant Kamat who directed the intense anti-terror film 'Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan'.

When asked about the project, Abbas-Mustan feigned ignorance.

'We have not approached Amitji for any film,' said Abbas initially. Then when told that Big B has confirmed his presence in an Abbas-Mustan film, Abbas sang a different tune. 'Yes, we are working with him. But we haven't decided what.'
