Abhishek Bachchan and his wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been approached to come together after seven years for a film which will be produced by Shailesh R Singh. It will be directed by a debutant director and will show the story of IPS officers who are married to each other.

Reveals an insider, “The film is based against the backdrop of Uttar Pradesh politics, based on a true story and about two IPS officers, who are husband and wife. It’s their love story and journey. Abhishek has liked the story and given his nod to the film though he is yet to sign the contract. Aishwarya Rai has been approached for the female lead and will be hearing a story narration soon. She has expressed interest in the story but as Aishwarya takes time on her scripts the film is on hold. The producers have been waiting to give her a story narration for almost two months. Shailesh’s first choice is Aishwarya as he thinks she will be wonderful in the film. Both the roles have equal weight and are performance-oriented.”

The source added, “They have to start shooting from December so the creative and production team wanted to approach another actress but Ash has been traveling too; just last week she finally gave them a date to hear their script.”

When Shailesh R Singh was asked about the film, he said, “Yes I have approached Abhishek and he has shown interest in the film. We are discussing with Aishwarya’s team and will be giving her a narration soon. She has conveyed to us that she’s interested in meeting us and hearing the story. I am planning to give Aishwarya a narration soon. I would definitely love to make a film with Abhishek. I had wanted to work with Abhishek for a long time but we got a good story now. Abhishek and I are both excited about the story. He is a superb human being and a great actor. The subject is strong and befitting his persona. I would love to work with Aishwarya in this film too as she suits the role. We cast actors in films keeping in perspective whether the roles suit them or not. I like to cast the actor according to the character.”
