Abhishek & Katrina in Vipul Shah's next!

Ash recommends Kat for Abhi

When Vipul Shah approached Aishwarya to cast her opposite hubby Abhishek in The Italian Job, she ended up recommending Katrina

Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif are set to star in Vipul Shah's upcoming film, The Italian Job; a remake of the Hollywood film by the same name starring Mark Wahlberg and Charlize Theron. This puts an end to whispers about animosity between the two actors. Rumours included Katrina declining the film because it starred Abhishek Bachchan, and yet another about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan preventing Abhishek from doing films with Katrina.

Says a source, "Vipul's first option was to cast Abhishek and Aishwarya. It was Aishwarya who prompted Vipul to cast Katrina instead." This is not the first time that Aishwarya has suggested another actress in her place. Previously, the actor recommended Priyanka Chopra for Dostana. Says Shah, "All I can say at the moment is that Aishwarya has absolutely no objections to the Abhishek-Katrina pair on screen." On her part, Katrina confirms that she has no issues working with Abhishek either. "All these ridiculous rumours about me not working with Abhishek started when my dates for The Italian Job didn't work out, and Dostana 2 got postponed.

Abhishek is a great guy. I did Sarkar with him at the start of my career. There were other offers but I felt they were not good enough to do justice to our pairing. I decided that whenever we work together again, it would be for a full-blown romantic comedy."

the article is so confusing why are they saying the Italian Job remake I think it was a typing mistake by them.

Well of course Ash would would want Katrina to be in the film. None of the Ash-Abhi recent films have worked and Katrina is a foolproof option, given her uncanny ability to make anything she stars in a blockbuster. Ash's precious hubby needs a hit. Badly.

let's see if it is true..abhi and kat...not sure how they will look together

why would abhi reject film with kat, she is one of the top stars, he can't stick to his wife only for films, so abhi good going, haven't seen sarkar so dunno how they both r on-screen, but it will be interesting to watch them on screen

.

So they are doing 3 movies together?

Aishu would def not have a problem...so ridiculous to even think she would!! But I'm excited b/c Abhi-Kat sounds nice, but I really wanna know what they look together...that 2 mins in Sarkar wasn't enough!!!

I am very excited for the Raj Kumar Santoshi movie, but dont know if its confirned yet. I am looking forward to abhi and kats pairing it would be so amazing to see how they going to look because in Sarkar they had only 2-3 scenes together.

it will be very gud 2 see both 2gether
