Abhishek, Ash, Mani Ratnam team up again

After Guru, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai will team up again for Mani Ratnam's next venture. Based on real life characters, the movie will be an intense love story.

This will be Abhishek and Ratnam's third film together.

After the terrific partnership they shared during Yuva, which Abhishek describes as his career's first turning point, and Guru, which he acknowledges as his second turning point, it doesn't require much calculation to see the creative and commercial viability of the Abhishek-Ratnam pair.

Ratnam will start shooting for the film in Sep with Abhishek and Aishwarya.

According to a source close to the project, "It's going to be a very intense love story. Guru was more of a biopic with a cavalcade of characters claiming screen space, but this film will focus primarily on the romance."

" It's a very intense film and Mani's most romantic film to date. It is based on real life characters."
