They make a perfect couple in real life. But Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan may not indulge in romance in the films they are doing together.
Ram Gopal Varma has already spilled the beans that Ash and Abhi are pitted against each other in his film Sarkar Raj . They play contrasting characters antagonistic to each other. Though there would be a brief romantic angle to their track, but it won't be dominant.
And now, the latest buzz from tinsel town is that in the next Mani Ratnam film that Ash and Abhi recently signed, they may not be paired with each other. Ratnam reportedly wants to cast Tamil superstar Vikram opposite Ash.
Vikram is one of the top stars of Kollywood. His movie Anniyan was a superhit down south and was even dubbed in Hindi as 'Aparichit'. Vikram's another Tamil hit 'Sethu' was remade in Hindi as the Salman Khan starrer Tere Naam . However, Vikram hasn't acted in a Hindi film yet.
According to grapevine, Mani sir has already spoken to Vikram about his next Hindi movie and the actor has consented to be part of it. The big question is that if Ash is paired with Vikram in the film, what would be Abhishek's role?
The film's shooting will begin in September.
The movie is being described as an intense love story set in contemporary times. But given the fact that Mani sir is at the helm of the project, the movie will definitely have some socio-political undercurrents as his past Hindi movies have had.
