Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be seen in Gulab Jamun. Interestingly, now we have learnt when this film goes on-floors. Read to know more.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, recently while promoting Fanney Khan, confirmed doing a film with husband Abhishek Bachchan, titled Gulab Jamun. The movie which has been in the news for quite a few months now, is being directed by Sarvesh Mewara and produced by Anurag Kashyap. In an interview Aishwarya had spoken about the movie and said, “AB [Abhishek] and I have agreed to do Gulab Jamun. I told AB that he needs to decide what he wants to do after Manmarziyan. The script was offered a year and half 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.”
When we caught up with Abhishek Bachchan during the promotions of Manmarziyaan, he revealed, “Gulab Jamun is a very sweet script which Sarvesh Mewara has written and he is going to be directing it. It's the film we both liked very much and we both really want to do. When we will be doing it, we haven't decided.” Interestingly, now we have learnt when this film goes on-floors. A source in the know told us that both Abhishek and Aishwarya will begin shooting for this movie mid next year.
“Abhishek Bachchan is slated to begin shooting for his next film after Manmarziyaan in October. He also has Kabaddi season simultaneously. After wrapping up all those commitments by the first quarter of 2019, Abhishek and Aishwarya are expected to begin the prep for the movie. Aishwarya will also finish her annual commitment of gracing the Cannes Film Festival. After all of that is done, the movie is expected to go on-floors in June or July 2019,” reveals our source.
Adds another source, “The recce and the scheduling has already begun. The shoot plan will be announced once the official announcement of the film is made by the makers. Tentatively, it is a three month shoot starting off with Mumbai. The other details are being worked out.”
We tried to get in touch with Sarvesh Mewara and are expecting a revert from him.
