Abhishek Bachchan has been making some questionable choices in terms of the films he has been doing. In fact, it’s been a long time since we saw him deliver a hit at the box office. But with films like Yuva, Sarkar and Guru to his credit, we know that Bachchan can act. It also means that all he really needs is a good script and a good co-star.

Abhishek Bachchan has been making some questionable choices in terms of the films he has been doing. In fact, it’s been a long time since we saw him deliver a hit at the box office. But with films like Yuva, Sarkar and Guru to his credit, we know that Bachchan can act. It also means that all he really needs is a good script and a good co-star.

Luckily for the actor, it looks like the tide is about to change as he is all set to appear alongside his wife, Aishwariya Rai in Mani Ratnam’s next film.

“Mani has been toying with a third film in his proposed Abhishek Bachchan – Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan trilogy for the longest time,” a source close to the couple shared.  “He is very close to both Abhishek and Aishwarya. After doing Guru and Raavan with the couple in the lead, Mani has been planning a third film with them for some years now. The film will happen now after Kaatru Vaaliydai in Tamil (Cheliya in Telugu). Mani will return to Hindi cinema with his third Ash-Abhi vehicle.”

Apparently, Jr. Bachchan had earlier shared that the only way he would appear in a film alongside his wife was if something really different came along. “For us to come together again, the script has to be really special. We can’t just be in a film together for the sake of being together.”
