News of a certain film ‘Gulab Jamun’ being produced by Anurag Kashyap and likely to star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan has been going on since more than a year.
From reports of the couple signing the film, followed by Abhishek confirming in June last year that he was in early talks, there was heartbreak for their fans when rumours of them turning down the project surfaced.
.The talented duo were last seen 8 years ago in the Mani Ratnam drama-thriller Raavan, a film that bombed at the box-office but the performances of Abhishek and Aishwarya was appreciated by the fans and critics alike. The film is being produced by Anurag Kashyap and his Phantom Films and will be directed by newcomer Sarvesh Mewara. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, confirmed that the actor couple have finally given their nod to the film and agreed to star in it. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Aishwarya revealed that she was originally offered the film more than a year back.
“We had agreed on the idea then. However, it was around the same time that AB decided to take time out. After the hiatus, he returned with Manmarziyan, which coincidentally is directed by Anurag Kashyap. That’s when the chatter around Gulab Jamun began again, and we finally came on board. It is a beautiful script and we fit the narrative perfectly,” Aishwarya said.
With mixed success and failure, makes one wonder what are the parameters on which the couple decides to do a film. They have had a few hits and misses, so surely they now know better what’ll work for them and what won’t.
