It's heard that the duo have convinced Amitabh Bachchan to feature in their upcoming thriller, which will have an ensemble cast. While rumours have it that they are willing to take the Race franchise forward, the duo is also planning a dark murder mystery and wants Big B to play the lead.
While talking to a daily, Abbas has even confirmed the news. "It's true, we met Mr. Bachchan and he found the script fantastic. Along with him, there will be four more actors -- two male and two female leads. We'll be casting them soon," Abbas is quoted as saying.

The story of the movie revolves around a man who has several children, and how a murder in the family draws him into an intriguing mystery. Amitabh Bachchan will not be seen in a grey character and will be the main protagonist.
Abhishek Bachchan has already worked with Abbas-Mustan in Players. Now, it's his father's chance. Apparently, Amitabh was convinced only after several script narrations, and is trying to accommodate his dates for the film.
It would be interesting to see who all get on board for this multi-starrer with one and only Big B.
