Ever since OMG! Oh My God starring Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar turned out to be a goldmine for everyone associated with the film, there’s been intense speculation about Umesh Shukla’s next project. There were whispers about the director turning producer but that turned out to be idle talk.

We’re told that Bhushan Kumar of T-series was the first person to sign on Umesh Shukla and it was kept well under wraps. Now the project has gone one step further. According to a source, none other than Abhishek Bachchan has been roped in to play leading man. The film, in all probability, will go on the floors in August this year.

Right now, only Abhishek Bachchan has been signed and the rest of the cast is yet to sign on the dotted line. Abhishek Bachchan was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s Bol Bachchan where he played a comic role.
