Big B, Ayushmann to share screen

Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana are set to star in Shoojit Sircar’s next, Gulabo Sitabo.
This is the first time Bachchan and Khurrana will work together in a film. The film, set in Lucknow, is billed as a quirky family comedy, penned by Sircar’s longtime collaborator Juhi Chaturvedi. Sircar said he and Chaturvedi were working on this script for some time and are glad everything fell in place with the two actors. “… As we all know when Juhi comes up with a story it has her trademark quirk in it. As soon as I read it I was extremely excited and shared it with Ronnie, my dear friend and producer and to both Mr Bachchan and Ayushmann at the same time.
“I thought it would take some time to develop and proceed but everyone including the duo were so enthusiastic to do this script, that they figured their dates and here we are, planning to release it this year,” the director said in a statement. (PTI)
