HOME | SCOOP!! & NEWS | BOLLYWOOD Mani Ratnam to direct Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan? 29th Jan 2006  13.00 IST By ApunKaChoice Bureau   Reports are that ace director Mani Ratnam is planning a new Hindi film with Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan in the lead. Reports are fuelled by the news that last week Ratnam was in Mumbai to give finishing touches to this ambitious project titled Guru . Ash and Abhishek were earlier paired in Kuch Naa Kaho and are now doing J. P. Dutta ‘s Umrao Jaan . Rumors are also rife that the Junior Bachchan will have two heroines in the film – Ash and Vidya Balan and the search for the antagonist is on, and John Abraham seems to be the front-runner. A R Rahman will be the music director with Gulzar ’s lyrics. Rajeev Menon will be the cameraman and he is teaming up with Ratnam after 10 long years after ‘Bombay’. Anurag Kashyap will helm the Hindi dialogues and the film is set in Mumbai. With ‘Guru’, which will go on the floors in March, Ratnam hopes to prove his detractors wrong that he has not been able to taste commercial success in Bollywood so far.
