A source close to the development revealed, “After doing 'Guru' and 'Raavan' with the couple in the lead roles, Mani has been planning a third film with them for some years now. He is very close to both of them. In fact, Ash started her career with Mani’s 'Iruvar' and Abhishek’s career highlights are Mani’s 'Yuva' and 'Guru'. The upcoming film will happen after Kaatru Vaaliydai in Tamil (Cheliya in Telugu). Mani will return to Hindi cinema with his third Ash-Abhi vehicle.”

While not many details are available regarding Mani Ratnam's next Hindi project, it will be great to see Abhi-Ash together on-screen again. Earlier there were speculations that Aishwarya and Abhishek might come together for Goldie Behl's 'Lefty' or Anurag Kashyap's next, but Abhishek rubbished them as rumours.

In fact, Abhishek had even said that he and Aishwarya will come together for a special project. Abhishek said, "For us to come together again, the script has to be really special. We can’t just be in a film together for the sake of being together."
