Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek
Bachchan starrer cop drama which was
produced by Shailesh R. Singh. However,
since there was no progress on the film
since February, Aishwarya and Abhishek
stepped out of the project. Abhishek
confirmed the news to a daily and said,
"The cop movie is not happening. Now,
reports suggest that it is Taapsee Pannu
who might take up the role.
In spite of having no developments for a
few months, the film has not been
shelved. The daily reported, "Shailesh
and his team of writers have reworked
the script. It's still a drama, but with
humorous undertones. The main
characters are two IPS officers who are
married to each other. The makers
suggested Taapsee's name for the
strong character because of how
effortlessly she has delivered powerful
performances in the recent past. "The
makers have discussed the idea with
her. It's a strong female character, so the
producers were looking out for
someone with substance to deliver the
part. Taapsee is yet to get a proper
narration. Only then will she decide
whether she wants to do it or not,
