Actress Asin is likely to team up with Abhishek Bachchan for a comedy film directed by director Umesh Shukla of Oh My God fame.

“We did speak to her about it (the film). But it is at an early stage. Nothing is finalized yet,” Shukla said.

Bachchan and Asin earlier featured together as a brother-sister duo in Rohit Shetty’s comedy Bol Bachchan. If all goes well, this time they will be paired romantically opposite each other.

“We are reworking our script. And then accordingly we will decide things. As of now we have not signed any heroine,” Shukla said.

Shukla’s directorial venture “Oh My God” had Paresh Rawal playing the role of an atheist while Akshay Kumar was seen in a modern-day avatar of Lord Krishna.

The film was a satirical comedy-drama on religion and did well at the box office after its release Sept. 28, 2012. This time the untitled Bachchan-starrer will also have a social element in it, but the director is not willing to share further details.

The film is reportedly backed by Bhushan Kumar, chairman and managing director of T-Series, and Shyam Bajaj. It will go on floors later in 2013.
