Is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan advising hubby Abhishek against working with Katrina Kaif? The buzz seems to suggest as much.
Rumours doing the rounds in B-town have it that Ash is discouraging Abhishek from working in Karan Johar's Dostana 2, which also stars Katrina.
It seems that Katrina's walking out of Abbas-Mustan's remake of The Italian Job hasn't gone down well with the Bachchans.
The Bollywood remake stars Abhishek along with Neil Nitin Mukesh and Omi Vaidya in the lead. It is believed that Katrina walked out of the project citing date problems.
Rumours, however, indicate that Katrina is reluctant to sign another film opposite Abhishek besides Dostana 2, given the actor's flop run in the box-office of late.
Several other top actresses, including Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra, have reportedly walked out of the film earlier. Ash herself was considered for the role at one point but things reportedly did not work out.
A director friend of Abhishek revealed on the condition of anonymity: 'Abhishek values his wife's judgment a lot and will always take what she says seriously. If she is trying to influence him against working with Katrina, he might just end up taking it seriously.'
Ever since Dostana 2 was announced the excitement has been more around the buzz that Katrina may sport a bikini in the film, rather than Abhishek and John Abraham reuniting. That could be a serious threat to any star!
