Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan have been touted as one of the most favourite couples of the tinsel town. There has been a massive demand for the couple to reunite on the big screen. And here it is happening! The Bachchan couple is all set to feature in the long time pending film 'Gulab Jamun' produced by Anurag Kashyap. The former Miss World herself compared the reports to Midday saying that she is felt the script apt for them.

Speaking about to the tabloid, she said, "AB [Abhishek] and I have agreed to do Gulab Jamun. I told AB that he needs to decide what he wants to do after Manmarziyan.“We had agreed on the idea then. However, it was around the same time that AB decided to take a time-out. After the hiatus, he returned with Manmarziyan, which coincidentally is directed by Anurag Kashyap. That’s when the chatter around Gulab Jamun began again, and we finally came on board. It is a beautiful script, and we fit the narrative perfectly."

The couple was last seen together in Mani Ratnam's 'Raavan'. It will be after 8 years that they will reunite on the silver screen. Why did they take so long to get back together as on-screen couple? The light-eyed actress has an answer for that!

Adding more about it, Aishwarya told, "The script has to be interesting if a real-life couple is coming together. We have got many scripts, and at times, we got tempted too. But then, we discuss it out loud. We take stock and say, ‘Does it excite us?" Well, such is the way how this star couple works!

On their individual work fronts, Aishwarya will be next seen in 'Fanney Khan' opposite Rajkummar Rao and Anil Kapoor. On the other hand, Abhishek Bachchan will be seen in Anurag Kashyap's Manmarziyaan. Are you excited to watch the power couple back on the screen?
