Abhishek & Katrina paired up in Rajkumar Santoshi’s next



While they have been a couple for brief time in RGV’s ‘Sarkar’, Rajkumar Santoshi is has come up with a script that will give ample scope for them to share the screen. Abhishek Bachchan and Katrina Kaif will be the leading pair in Santoshi’s next comedy.

Interestingly, the director has the actor’s superstar dad Amitabh Bachchan in his other project ‘Power’. However, sources claim that the film is put on hold; instead Santoshi has taken up this Abhishek-Katrina starrer film.

After his earlier entertainers ‘Andaaz Apna Apna’ and ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani’, this untitled project is his third comedy venture.

While Katrina is said to be excited to work in full-length with Abhishek, Santoshi is also looking forward to work with Jr. Bachchan for first time since he worked with his father in ‘Family’ and ‘Khakee’.

“In him, I see great-untapped potential and a hunger to excel. There's a very mischievous side to his personality, which has not been tapped in any film. I think Abhishek has great comic potential. When I wrote this script I thought of him immediately,” said Santoshi who will also be producing the project. With this untitled film, Abhishek steps into a full-and-full comic role for the first time.
