While media went into overdrive reporting Ash's presence with the Bachchan family in Varanasi, there's news that the two are quite a couple now.Suneil Shetty has landed himself a casting coup with Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, John Abraham and Govinda for his next home production. The film will be directed by debutante director Vicky Singh who is a good friend of Suneil and John.
Apparently, Suneil convinced Aishwarya and Abhishek while they were shooting for Umrao Jaan.
The actor has been tight lipped about his project, but sources close to Suneil reveal that, "Ash and Abhishek will be working together in the film. They are impressed with the script and want to work with young director. Vicky knows Ash, Abhishek and John, so it was not difficult for him to convince them." Suneil intends to make a formal announcement of his film in December at an awards' night. "Suneil is very superstitious and he doesn't want to hype the film before it is announced. It's going to be a romantic film, with entertainment value. In fact, Suneil has approached Govinda to play an important role in the film and he is waiting for his nod," says our source. The film will also star Anupam Kher's son Sikander Kher. When contacted Suneil said, "I would like to make a formal announcement in December. Prior to that, I can't reveal my cast." Suneil has decided not to act in any of his home production. "I want to keep the two completely separate. Production is a full-time job, and I won't be able to do justice if I am acting in it too," he explains.
