Abhi-Ash hero, heroine, Vivek - Villain!

Before Aamir Khan, filmmaker Mani Ratnam wants to direct Abhishek and Aishwarya first in his next Hindi project 'Guru', which will also have Vidya Balan of 'Parineeta' fame in an important role. However, the search is on for the role of the antagonist who spars with Abhishek Bachchan. It could just be John Abraham, though rumours were also circulating that the role might be offered to Vivek Oberoi.
Anurag Kashyap will pen the Hindi dialogues. A. R. Rehman will score the music. The director has zeroed in on Gulzar for the lyrics. Director Rajiv Menon who was the cinematographer on Ratnam's 'Bombay' will photograph 'Guru'.
The Aamir Khan project will roll only at the end of 2006. But as of now, it will be action time for 'Guru' in April-May, with its first shooting schedule in Aden.
