Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor
Abhishek Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor who were last seen together in 2003 in Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon might come together for Abbas Mustan’s next film. The film is not titled yet but is the remake of Italian Job (2003).
Currently the director duo is working on the script but they already have the actors on their mind. Despite Abhishek and Kareena, the cast of the film will also include Neil Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif. If all goes well, we will be seeing two leading ladies of Bollywood in one film as well as Abhishek and Kareena together after six years.
Revealing about the film, one source said, “Initially talks were on with Saif Ali Khan, but the actor did not have dates, and was replaced with Jr. Bachchan. Although Saifeena’s chemistry would have sizzled onscreen, it would be nice to watch Abhishek and Kareena after their last movie Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoonin 2003. Both the actors made their debut together in Refugee and have been in the industry for years but have only featured in two films till today.”
However a source close to the directors said, “The directors always had Kareena in mind. They have managed to rope in Katrina too. After a long time, one will see two top actresses’ of Bollywood in the same film. The movie will go on floors in April and like every Abbas-Mustan’s film, this flick will also be shot lavishly on a big budget at international locations. Although the director-duo is in the scripting process, they are clear about the cast of their film.”
Studio 18 holds the rights of the film The Italian Job (2003). Sandeep Bhargava, CEO of the studio said, “We have the 2003 rights of The Italian Job. Abbas-Mustan is in the scripting process and are going to direct the film. They are the line producers and The Indian Film Company is the presenter. The movie will go on floors sometime next year.”
Is the star cast finalised? “The directors are still working on the script and until the script isn’t ready we can’t approach any actors,” he said.
However when asked to Zahid, manager of Bebo, he replied, “She has not signed the movie.”
