The hit trio of Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Mani Ratnam to unite again?

History is witness of the fact that whenever Mani Ratnam has brought together Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan, the movies have been spectacular, keeping aside the box office factor. The three have collaborated together previously in ‘Guru’ and ‘Raavan’, and while the former was a box office success, latter failed to rake in moolah. However, both the movies were a blissful cinematic experience.

And now, if sources are to be believed, the three are all set to collaborate again, as Mani Ratnam is quite keen to have his ‘Guru’ jodi on board for his next project.

A source claimed the same, saying, “After doing ‘Guru’ and ‘Raavan’ with the couple in the lead roles, Mani Ratnam has been planning a third film with them for some years now.” (Also Read: Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Arrest’ starring Abhishek Bachchan delayed)

Further, the source said, “He is very close to both of them. In fact, Aishwarya Rai started her career with Mani’s Iruvar and Abhishek’s career highlights are Mani’s Yuva and Guru.”

He also shed some light on when the movie would start rolling. “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,” he revealed.

Well, if that happens in reality, we would surely be very happy. Just few days back we had heard that the two will be coming back with a film called ‘Gulab Jamun’, and now this. Let’s just wait for an official confirmation now.
