after a hiatus. After having signed films
with Prabhudeva and Priyadarshan,
Abhishek Bachchan is set to sign his film
with Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
Bhansali produces Gustakhiyaan which is
directed by writer Jasmeet K Reen. The film
is based on the love story between
celebrated Indian poet and lyricist Sahir
Ludhianvi and writer Amrita Pritam.
First it was Farhan Akhtar whose name was
tossed up to play the male lead. And then
Irrfan Khan was being considered. Irrfan
backed out of the project and Shah Rukh
Khan was being spoken to.
Somehow Shah Rukh is out of the project
now because of issues with the heroine
Priyanka Chopra and now Abhishek
reunites with the girl who he named Piggy
Chops - Priyanka.
Abhishek and Priyanka have earlier worked
together in the semi hit Bluffmaster for
Rohan Sippy and the flop Drona helmed by
Goldie Behl.
