Mani Ratnam, whose film Kaatru Veliyidai recently released to mixed reviews, is likely to cast Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in his next project, reports the Deccan Chronicle.

According to the source, as quoted in the report, “Mani Ratnam is very close to both of them. In fact, Ash started her career with Mani’s Iruvar and Abhishek’s career highlights are Mani’s Yuva and Guru. The upcoming film will happen after Kaatru Vaaliydai in Tamil (Cheliya in Telugu). Mani will return to Hindi cinema with his third Ash-Abhi vehicle.”
In an earlier interview, Abhishek had said that for the three of them to collaborate on a film, the script would have to be special. “We can’t just be in a film together for the sake of being together,” he had said.
