Mumbai, Feb 21: After `Guru`, Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai will team up again for Mani Ratnam`s next venture. Based on real life characters, the movie will be an intense love story.
This will be Abhishek and Ratnam`s third film together. After the terrific partnership they shared during `Yuva`, which Abhishek describes as his career`s first turning point, and `Guru`, which he acknowledges as his second turning point, it doesn`t require much calculation to see the creative and commercial viability of the Abhishek-Ratnam pair.
Ratnam will start shooting for the film in Sep with Abhishek and Aishwarya.
According to a source close to the project, `It`s going to be a very intense love story. `Guru` was more of a biopic with a cavalcade of characters claiming screen space, but this film will focus primarily on the romance. It`s a very intense film and Mani`s most romantic film to date. It is based on real life characters.`
