However, actor Rohit Roy, who recently signed a three-film deal with Bhansali as a director, confirms that he is in talks with Abhishek for a film. Talking to PTI, Rohit said, "I am talking to Abhishek for a few things. So let's see what happens. He has shown interest in the project but we are yet to finalise other things."

Rohit also confirmed that Priyanka is in talks with SLB, but not for the film he is going to direct. "Priyanka is not doing the film with me, she is doing another film with Bhansali sir," added Rohit. He also informed that the film he is directing is not based on poet Sahir Ludhanvi's life.

Talking about the three-film deal he is signed with SLB, Rohit quips, "I have signed a three film deal with him. We are working on a project which is a love story. I can't talk about it in detail. We are in the process of casting... We have approached a couple of actors but nothing is finalised yet."

Rohit earlier directed a short film titled 'Rice Plate', the 10-minute long film was a part of 'Dus Kahaniyan'.
