The latest Bollywood reports suggest us that one of the most loved celebrity couples, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would be reuniting again, on the silver screen after a gap of 7 years.
It was already announced that reputed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next production venture, would be the biopic of poet Sahir Ludhianvi, and it would feature Abhishek Bachchan in the lead role. It was also rumored that Priyanka Chopra might play the female lead. But, the latest exciting reports say that it would be Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who would apparently be playing the leading lady.
She would be taking up the role of Sahir's love partner, Amrita Pritam, who was also a poet and an author. This would be the couple's next outing together, after Mani Ratnam's Raavan in 2010.
This biopic, which is to be directed by debutant Jasmeet Reen, will most likely go on floors from early next year.
