Aish-Abhishek to pair up for Talismaan

Vidhu Vinod Chopra is all set to start his forthcoming film Talismaan . Though he announced this film last year before the release of his Eklavya it took him quite long to actually start it. With the announcement of Talismaan he also informed that his favorite Amitabh Bachchan will have an influential role.

Well the latest is that the Reliance group will co produce this film along with Vidhu Vinod Chopra. According to a unit hand from VVC Productions, Chopra had a meeting with the line producers last week regarding the star cast of the film. It is believed that though he hasn’t officially announced star cast of the film, the line producers inform us that Abhishek Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt have been signed to play pivotal roles in the film.

It is known that Talismaan is a romantic fantasy adventure inspired by the epic novel, Chandrakanta. It interweaves and mixes the elements of magic, fantasy and war. Abhishek will play a prince and Sanjay Dutt will be seen in negative role. Now the question is who will play the role of a princess in Talismaan . It is believed that Bachchans are keen to see Aishwarya in that role and Reliance too have no issues with it.

So will Ashiwarya be seen in Talismaan ? “Yes her name has been suggested but it seems producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra is not too keen to sign her for this project.” says a unit hand. It is believed that Chopra is keen to sign newcomer Deepika Padukone and if not Deepika, he may go for a new face. It can be recalled that Vidhu Vinod Chopra wanted to cast Aishwarya for his film Kareeb opposite Bobby Deol but Aishwarya did not do it and the same role went to Neha.
Now the question is what is the reason for not signing Aishwarya for Talismaan? “Well that can be one of the reasons. Aishawarya has recently done a role of princess in Ashutosh Govarikar’s Jodha Akbar. Thus Vidhu doesn’t want to cast someone who has already played the similar role.” Informs a unit hand

Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Abhishek Bachchan remained unavailable for any comment
