Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on the lookout for a script

Gulab Jamun, the next project that real-life husband and wife Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were to do together, is “on the back-burner for now.” The question is, what will the real-life couple work in next? According to sources, a hunt is on for a suitable project.

“Aishwarya and Abhishek have decided to not do a film together where they play lovers. Abhishek romancing Aishwarya would just not work with the audience. It has to be a story of a relationship that goes beyond courtship,” says a source close to the couple.

Abhishek and Aishwarya are not the only real-life couple facing a crisis of on-screen compatibility. Saif Ali Khan and Kareena are also saddled with the responsibility of taking their togetherness on screen beyond public perception.
