We all remember what a treat it was to watch Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan in Guru. Last seen in Raavan, Aish and Abhi were all set to do Gulab Jamun together but something seems to have made them opt out of the film.

Last year in an interview to a leading entertainment tabloid, Aish 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. The script was offered a year and half back. We had agreed on the idea then. However, it was around the same time that AB decided to take 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's a beautiful script and we fit the narrative perfectly."

But now a source reveals to another entertainment portal that they have changed their mind and will now not be a part of the film. "Abhishek and Aishwarya were keen to do the film. But they had suggested certain changes too. While things were being worked out, the two seem to have had a change of mind. And now they have decided to not be a part of this movie," quotes the source.

While the reason for them opting out of Gulab Jamun is still not known but their lovely jodi certainly will not enthrall us on screens any time soon. An officially statement fro the couple is yet to follow. May be they will clear the air then.

Abhishek was last seen in Manmarziyaan where his performance was praises by both the fans and the critics. Aishwarya too wooed us all over again in Fanney Khan.
