Abbas Mustan to direct Big B

Friday, August 20, 2010, 14:30 [IST]

A A A

Abbas-Mustan are all set to direct Amitabh Bachchan in a film for the first time. This project could be pushed ahead of The Italian Job.

The film with the Big B directed by Abbas-Mustan would be a hard-hitting socially-relevant subject written by Nishikant Kamat who directed the intense anti-terror film Yeh Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan.

When asked about the project Abbas-Mustan feign ignorance. “We have not approached Amitji for any film," says Abbas initially. Then when told that the Big B has confirmed his presence in an Abbas-Mustan film, Abbas sings another tune. “Yes we are working with him. But we haven"t decided on what."

The decision has been taken. And the Big B"s film with Abbas-Mustan may get priority over Abhishek"s project The Italian Job with the duo.
