Are Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan going to star in a movie together?

Over the last few days, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been unmissable online. The star attended the 70th Cannes Film Festival this week with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan, taking over the internet with her most extravagant red carpet ensembles, and keeping busy with the international showcase of her 2002 film Devdas.

In the midst of all the activity, Rai Bachchan also managed to make time for some interviews. And when asked about whether she’ll be seen in a Bollywood film anytime soon, the star confirmed that she and her husband Abhishek Bachchan have, in fact, been approached to star in Anurag Kashyap’s upcoming project.

 

“We have been approached for Gulab Jamun,” the star revealed during a FaceTime interview from Cannes, according to ABP Live, “and they have narrated us the script. Personally, I had taken time out for the past five months now. I



had taken time out for my mother and my family,” said Bachchan, who lost her father Krishnaraj Rai to lymphoma this March. “I just started listening to scripts from last week and have already liked two subjects. If and when we feel the time is right, we will share that with you.” Rumours of Rai Bachchan hosting a new season of Kaun Banega Crorepati in place of her father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan have also been doing the rounds, but the star has made no comment to confirm the news yet.

As for the couple, Abhishek and Aishwarya have worked together in several films in the past including Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke, Umrao Jaan, Dhoom 2, Guru and Raavan, and continue to be one of the Indian film industry’s most-loved duos.
