Rumour has it that that south Indian filmmaker Mani Ratnam is gearing up to make a film that will star Abhi and Ash in the leading roles.

Abhishek and Ash are presently shooting for director J P Dutta's movie Umrao Jaan in Jaipur. The two will also work together in Yash Raj banner's Dhoom sequel, although they won't be cast opposite each other in the movie.

Although no formal confirmation has come from the director or the stars, reports on TV channels speculate that the movie would be based on a romantic story.
